Applications
- Comparison method for determination of sound power of noise sources according to ISO 3741, ISO 3743-1 and ISO 3747.
The reference sound source Nor278 is designed to produce a stable and uniform sound power output with unique long-term stability. The high sound power output makes it ideal for sound power measurements in a noisy environment. The rugged, but yet portable and light weight construction is perfect for field us as well a laboratory use. Every effort is made in the design to ensure a uniform frequency response and optimum directional characteristic well inside the requirements in ISO 6926:2016.
Each unit is carefully assembled and individual tested. To enhance the level of quality and traceability of your measurements every unit is accredited calibrated by the Norsonic Calibration Laboratory (NCL) in accordance to ISO 6926:2016. This service is also offered for periodic re-calibration.
Accredited Calibration
Norsonic Calibration Laboratory is an accredited laboratory to work in compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 in carrying out calibration of acoustical equipment for measuring noise (sound level meters, microphones, dosimeters and acoustical calibrators), accelerometers, tapping machines and reference sound sources. The accreditation is recognized internationally through European and global multilateral agreements in more than 40 countries around the world made through the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation – ILAC. Thus the Norwegian Accrediting body has established that Norsonic calibrations are internationally accepted as being carried out in an accredited laboratory.
