Summary

Description
Русский: Сравнение прогнозируемого и реального ослабления шума при применении вкладышей (берушей) из эластомерного материала EP100 (Willson Safety Products). По горизонтальной оси отложена разница между уровнями шума на рабочем месте, при их измерении с С-коррекцией, и с А-коррекцией (Lc-La). Эта разница возрастает, когда шум преимущественно низкочастотный, такой, от которого пассивные СИЗОС плохо защищают.

Вверху: Результаты, полученные при вычислениях с использованием результатов лабораторных сертификационных испытаний (средние значения и стандартные отклонения). Маркеры - вычисления для спектров "100 характерных шумов NIOSH"; графики - показатели ослабления шума NRR (США), SNR и HML (Европейский Союз и РФ). Прогноз на основе трёх чисел (HML) наиболее точно соответствует ослаблениям при защите от разных шумов.

Внизу. Специалисты NIOSH провели измерения ослабления шума у рабочих на заводах [1]. Они определили средние ослабления шума и стандартные отклонения. Нижние графики точно соответствуют верхним, но использованы не результаты лабораторных измерений (средние значения минус стандартные отклонения), а средние ослабления шума, без вычитания стандартных отклонений, измеренные у рабочих. Аналогичное сравнение опубликовано в таблице в приложении C [2].

English: Comparison of predicted and actual noise attenuation of EP100 elastomeric earplugs (Willson Safety Products). OX axis: the difference between the C- and A-weighted sound pressure level, Lc-La. The larger this value the larger is the low frequency content of the noises. Passive SPEs attenuate low-frequency noise worse than mid- and high-frequency noise.

Top: Results when laboratory data were used (mean attenuation values and standard deviations SD). Markers - calculations for "NIOSH 100 noises"; graphs - noise reduction ratings, NRR (USA), SNR & HML (European Union and RF). The prediction with HML most closely matches the attenuation of various noises.

At the bottom. NIOSH conducted measurements of noise attenuation in factories [1]. They determined the average noise attenuation and standard deviations. The bottom markers and graphs correspond exactly to the top ones, but they are not derived from laboratory data (mean attenuations minus standard deviations). They are derived from the average noise attenuation (without subtracting standard deviations) of earplugs when used by workers in factories. A similar comparison is published in the table in Appendix C in [2].
