analysers equipment such as 1/3 octave analysers who wish to
acquire a basic understanding of acoustic and measurement
principles for a variety of applications, including noise abatement,
product labelling and building acoustics.
Programme:
* Definitions of sound and introduction of the decibel scale
* The human perception of sound and noise and weighting curves
* Frequency of sound in relation to human hearing and noise control
* Basic sound measurement techniques & the use of sound level meters
* Introduction to environmental noise measurements
* Introduction to sound level measurements for product labelling
* Introduction to room and hall acoustics
* A preview of advanced measurement techniques & their special applications
* Introduction to methods for analysing the frequency of sound
How to mount Accelerometers correctly to make sense
of your Analysis Results
18-19 May 2004
Find out how to select and mount accelerometers correctly for a wide
variety of industrial, research and R&D applications. With an accent
on identifying and eradicating common mistakes and misconceptions
often encountered in vibration measurements.
Day 1: Accelerometer technologies, selection criteria, mounting
techniques, error sources, smart transducers, signal conditioning
Day 2: Basics of vibration measurements, principles and practical
application of frequency analysis, difference between acceleration,
velocity and displacement using examples, plus much more.
Frequency Analysis Course
20-21 May 2004
This course aims to show users how to get the most out of the
Frequency Analyser on this comprehensive 2 day course, whether
they work in industry, development, research, education or consultancy.
All participants will work through the basics of frequency analysis
during a number of concise, easy to understand presentations,
together with practical demonstrations on their own analyser
(any brand).
Programme:
* Noise and vibration spectrum interpretation
* FFT analysis and real-time third octave analysis
* Setting up and trouble shooting FFT analysers
Using hanning and other windowing functions correctly, explaining
harmonics, orders and partials.
