PRACTICAL APPLICATION or SHEET LEAD TOR WOISE BARRIERS -ALEAO III BUILDCTO TO THE MEMBERS OF THE LEAD INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION, DIC.i Enclosed are copies of two new booklets entitled* PRACTICAL APPLICATION OT SHEET LEAD FOR HOISE BARRIERS sad LEAD BUILDXM. The first is aimed st ths do-it-yourselfer ss well ss ths professional faced with ths problem of choosing a noise barrier within s budget figure to answer a particu lar acoustical problem. It includes no lessons in acoustics but gets down to business in clear and easily understood language with practical and useable information. The second, from our Sweet's Catalog Pile, is a summary of four major uses for sheet lead in building construction, i.e.. Waterproofing, Sound Barriers, Roof ing and Plashing, and Vibration Control. Found in every architectural office in the country as a part of the Sweet's File it will also serve as an introduction to other potential users of lead in the construction field. Additional copies are available upon request. Sincerely. EDM ip Enel. - 2 EEWI* D.

Nevertheless changing trends In building construction towards lighter and thinner walls, ceilings and partitions, coupled wtth Increasing noise levels caused by growing numbers of telephones, typewriters and/or business or household machines have accentuated the problem. The excellent soundstopping properties of sheet lead have made it possible to cope with these problems. Lead's contribution as the most effective noise control measure in well built acoustical walls makes them available for: Privacy between adjacent rooms or offices. Containment of noise sources such as office machines or household appliances. Isolation of noisy or quiet areas such as conference rooms or a furnace room near a family playroom. With this in mind the following assemblies, partitions or laminates have been illustrated in sequence according to thickness to enable the user to pick a barrier with maximum capabilities within a minimum ol space. All are given a single figure rating or Sound Transmission Class (STC) which will allow direct comparison for preliminary purposes. Final decision should always be based upon the entire transmission loss curve or values at all test frequencies. Following examples show the approximate effectiveness of walls with varying STC numbers: -- STC NUMBER APPROXIMATE EFFECTIVENESS 25 30 35 N Q--f1-fi0 Loud Loud appeal patch apeeeft car be con bo audfete eeoffy understood but not understood woe Intoafribto 42 Loud op eecb oudfblo oao Murmur 45 Must strain to boor loud ipttcb 48 Somo loud apooefe Urffjr oudtoto 50 Loud apaacb not otad oudM i iI *. V'-U tXISTIWG 4TM(N h o c k -- . 9AO l`**FIMCm6 r cuss riMR.
