Abstract
An open-ended acoustic impedance tube is abutted against a material having a known acoustic impedance and a standing wave pattern is established in the tube. A first apparent impedance of the material is derived based on the standing wave pattern. A correction factor is computed based on the known impedance and the first apparent impedance. The open-ended impedance tube is then abutted against a sample material and a second apparent impedance is derived. The actual impedance of the sample is inferred from the second apparent impedance and the correction factor.
