Underwater acoustics. Quantities and procedures for description and measurement of underwater sound from ships-Requirements for precision measurements in deep water used for comparison purposes
水下声学 船舶水下声音描述和测量的数量和程序
BS ISO 17208-1:2016 specifies the general measurement system, procedure, and methodology used
for the measurement of underwater sound from ships under a prescribed operating condition. It does
not specify or provide guidance on underwater noise criteria or address the potential effects of noise
on marine organisms.The resulting quantities are based on the root-mean-square sound pressure levels (SPL), herein used
synonymously with sound pressure level or SPL measured in the far field of the ship and normalized
to a distance of 1 m and reported in one-third octave bands (see 4.3). In this part of ISO 17208, the
result of these measurements is called "radiated noise level". The underwater sound pressure level
measurement is performed in the geometric far field and then adjusted to the 1 m normalized distance
for use in comparison with appropriate underwater noise criteria.This part of ISO 17208 is applicable to any and all underway surface vessels, either manned or
unmanned. It is not applicable to submerged vessels or to aircraft. The method has no inherent
limitation on minimum or maximum ship size. It is limited to ships transiting at speeds no greater than
50 kn (25,7 m/s).The measurement method smooths the variability caused by Lloyd's mirror surface image coherence
effects, but does not exclude a possible influence of propagation effects like bottom reflections,
refraction and absorption. No specific computational adjustments for these effects are provided in
this part of ISO 17208. A specific ocean location is not required to use this part of ISO 17208, but the
requirements for an ocean test site are provided.The intended uses of the method described in this part of ISO 17208 are: to show compliance with
contract requirements or criteria, for comparison of one ship to another ship, to enable periodic
signature assessments, and for research and development. The intended users include government
agencies, research vessel operators, and commercial ship owners.Additional post-processing would be required to use the data obtained from this measurement method
for determination of the ship source levels to perform far field noise predictions such as needed for
most environmental impact studies or for creating underwater noise contour maps.Cross References:ISO 18405IEC 60565IEC 61260ISO/IEC Guide 98-3ISO 11202:2010ISO 18431-2ANSI/ASA S12.64-2009/Part 1All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
