Acoustic and Vibration calibration Ltd All calibrations are traceable to National Standards.
 

Acoustic calibrators

  • Pressure calibration at all third-octave centre frequencies 63 Hz - 8 kHz in half-inch configuration, levels 80 - 130 dB
  • Certification of distortion levels, timing facilities and a.c. output voltage levels
  • Prices from £75

Sound level meters, personal sound exposure meters

  • Selected tests based on IEC 61672-1:2002, IEC 61651:1979 and IEC 60804:1985 for sound level meters, IEC 61252:1993 for sound exposure meters
  • Testing of integral octave and third-octave band filters
  • Testing of computer based systems as well as hand-held meters.
  • Prices from £185

Microphones

  • Frequency response using electrostatic actuator, with free-field equivalent response using manufacturers' data
  • Visual inspection & cleaning of diaphragms; self-noise check
  • Sensitivity at 1 kHz in half- and quarter-inch configuration
  • Prices from £60

Filter sets

  • Testing of octave and third-octave band filters to IEC 61260 or IEC 225, as appropriate, over frequency range 10 Hz - 25 kHz
  • Other filter shapes and combinations by arrangement
  • Prices from £135

Reverberation time measurement.

  • Verification of Reverberation Time measurements from T60 = 0.02 to 25 seconds. Standard package measures all third octave bands 50 – 10kHz, for both T20 and T30 if fitted, at target decay times of 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 3.0 and 10.0 seconds. Other options available on request.
  • Prices from £180

Tapping Machine checks

  • Verification of Tapping Machines in support of BS EN ISO140-7:1998.
  • Full test £365
  • Pre-test £75

The pre-test charge will be made only if the machine fails initial checks and, after consultation with the client, no further testing is carried out.

Noise Recording Systems

  • Tests of dynamic range, linearity and frequency response for sound level meters fitted with record options, either replayed to the same meter or to an external analogue system.
  • Tests of frequency response and dynamic range of recording instruments, e.g. DAT recorders
  • Tests of recording systems either with a sound level meter or just a signal processing system.System may include a microphone which can also be fully checked if required
  • Prices from £85

Prices exclude VAT & return carriage
