This SAE Recommended Practice describes a laboratory test procedure for measuring the acoustical performance of a system consisting of a body cavity filler material formed into a rectangular cross-section channel. Materials for this test may include both heat reactive and chemically reactive products, with or without a shelf to simulate a baffle in an application, or a combination of body cavity filler and aluminum foil to enhance the performance. These materials are commonly installed in transportation systems such as ground vehicles, and thus reduce the noise propagation through the rails, rockers, and pillar/posts.
This document is intended to rank order the acoustical performance of materials for application on channels using general automotive steel, such that the effects of sealing of pinch welds in addition to the material could be easily evaluated. However, the channel is not an actual part (i.e., real life section) of the vehicle, and therefore results obtained from this study will have to be carefully interpreted considering limitations of section size/shape and full sealing (or not) of the section.
The acoustical performance is expressed in terms of insertion loss (IL) which is described in Section 3 Test Method. The test procedure described here is based on the method described in SAE J1400. However, this document differs from the SAE J1400 method in that the J1400 measures sound transmission loss, and this document measures IL of body cavity materials in a cavity.
This document covers the useful frequency range of interest in 1/3 octave band center frequencies. The lower limit of the actual frequency range is limited by the size of the channel and/or the volume of the reverberation room. Two rectangular cross-section channels are cited in this standard. These are 75 mm × 75 mm and 150 mm × 150 mm in cross-section and provide valid data at and above 800 Hz and 400 Hz 1/3 octave band frequencies, respectively, provided the reverberation room can generate diffuse sound field at those frequencies.
Rationale
Increased use of cavity filler materials on rockers, pillars, posts and other cavities has resulted in the need to develop a standardized procedure for rank ordering the performance of these materials in a controlled environment in the laboratory using a channel that simulates the application.
The Acoustical Materials Committee is dedicated to developing, coordinating, reviewing, approving, maintaining and revising documents related to ground vehicle noise and vibration control materials through the participation of material suppliers, part suppliers, system integrators, consultants, test laboratories and ground vehicle manufacturers. Committee activities shall provide a forum for the cooperative interchange of ideas and experience of the participants, resulting in the publication of Standards, Recommended Practices and Information Reports that embody established ground vehicle industry practices and requirements to serve the suppliers and customers of ground vehicle materials. At its discretion, the committee shall also sponsor and support SAE International technical meetings such as conferences, workshops and symposia to further the exchange of information and ideas.
* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.

Search Tips: Search Operators:AND, OR, NOT; Wild Cards; Using Quotes
SAE MOBILUS® Search Tips
Please note: All terms not contained within quotes, will be evaluated using the OR operator. This means that your search results will contain all results that contain ANY of the entered terms.
AND, OR, NOT
SAE MOBILUS supports the use of the AND, OR and NOT BOOLEAN operators ONLY function with the Advanced Search.
Wild Cards
Using the asterisk, ( * ) allows you to search for a partial word. For example, entering a keyword search of aero* will search for any word beginning with aero.
Using the question mark, ( ? ) allows you to search for a word with a single character wildcard. For example, searching for t?re would match both tire and tyre
Using Quotes
Words in double quotes " " are treated as a phrase. Conducting a search for "heat model" will return all results in which the exact phrase "heat model" is found, while "heat modeling" would NOT be included.
A term combined with a phrase will be joined with an OR operator.
Searching for Standards
When searching for a standard please use the entire Document Number assigned, which includes the abbreviation. A space can be used, or omitted between the abbreviation and number.
