    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Describes a method for determining the exterior noise emitted by earth-moving machinery and agricultural tractors in terms of the A-weighted sound power level while the machine is stationary.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Standard describes a method for determining the exterior noise emitted by earth-moving machinery and agricultural tractors in terms of the A-weighted sound power level while the machine is stationary. At six positions on a hemispherical surface, the equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure levels are measured. The A-weighted sound power level of the machinery is calculated from the measured values. This Standard applies to the following types of machinery:(a) Agricultural tractors.(b) Crawlers and wheeled excavators.(c) Crawlers and wheeled loaders.(d) Crawlers and wheeled dozers.(e) Backhoe loaders.(f) Graders.(g) Compactor/rollers.(h) Four-wheel drive skid-steer machines.
