“Never before has a noise dosimeter been so accomplished yet so affordable, making your measurements more accurate and reliable than ever before”. To get started quickly with the SV 104IS, the first part of the manual describes basic noise dosimetry information followed by a guide to setting up the dosimeter and running measurements. -
Page 9: Sound Pressure
SV 104IS USER’S MANUAL______________________________________________________ Sound pressure The human ear responds to audible sound pressure levels in the range from 20 μPa (hearing threshold) to 20 Pa (pain threshold), resulting in the enormous scale 1:10,000,000. Since using such a large arithmetic scale is not practical, a logarithmic scale in decibels (dB) was introduced which is also in agreement with physiological and psychological hearing sensations. -
Page 10: Dosimetry Standards
SV 104IS USER’S MANUAL ______________________________________________________ Dosimetry standards The effects of high sound exposure on hearing have been studied for many years.
