Sound Level Meter & Nosie dosimeter S12 1. Sound Level Meter Sound level meter S12 measures and displays the analog noise waveforms numerically. Sound Pressure Level, Equivalent Continuous Sound Level or Leq, Peak, etc. are displayed in decibels. Sound pressure 20 (μPa, microwave Pascal) is set as a reference level. It consists of a frontend and a sensor.
3. Noise measurement 3.1. Power ON Press the <POWER> button to turn on the device. The device is in a suspended state. 3.2. Start measurement Press the <ENTER> key. The device will display 'Stn' at the top right of the screen and start the measurement.
3.4. Toggle noise value display When you press the F2 key, the device displays sound pressure level(SPL). 'LAF' is displayed on the upper left of the screen. Each press of the F2 key toggles the quantification of noise in the order LAF, LAFmax, LAFmin, and LApeakMax.
4.2 TWA (Time Weighted Average) dB(A) The TWA shows a worker's daily exposure to occupational noise (normalized to an 8 hour day), taking into account the average levels of noise and the time spent in each area. This is the parameter that is used by the OSHA Regulations and is essential in assessing a workers exposure and what action should be taken.
4.4 Projected Dose Dose measurements usually require the noise exposure to be measured over a full 8 hour working day. This can be simplified by using projected dose. This dose allows the present accumulated dose over the logged time duration to be projected forward to give the predicted 8 hour dose.
L50 is the noise level exceeded for 50% of the measurement duration. It is the middle point and has been incorporated in some American Community Noise Assessments. L90 is taken to be the ambient or background noise level. L10-L50 is often used in such noise indices as Traffic Noise Index: TNI= 4 ·...
