This standard presents the required nomenclature to improve communications among the many
technological fields concerned with material damping that are used for resilient mountings so there will
be a clear understanding by both the user and the manufacturer. Since the intention of this standard is
to encourage better communication between the manufacturer and the user, the material set forth
herein should be regarded as a nomenclature for specifying damping properties of the resilient
materials. It is intended to outline, in standardized form, what information should be presented to
enable the experienced designer to apply them for selecting the resilient material for machine
mountings correctly. Also, the standard defines terminology in a further effort to ease the problem of
communication between user and manufacturer.
