The “ A” weighted graph corresponds to the hearing sensation of the human earof the human ear.
In this connection the technician speaks of “correct hearing volume”
The “C” weighted graph is used in case of many low

The C weighted graph is used, in case of many low frequencies within the acoustic signal.

Basic Concepts: The Measuring Unit dB
Sound are tiny pressure variations of the ambient air.
Basic Concepts: The Measuring Unit dB
As the human ear holds an extremely large dynamic range, the specification of the pressure values would be unsuitable.
testo 815/816Applications 815Applications 816B i C t specification of the pressure values would be unsuitable.
Therefore a logarithmic presentation is preferred.
Basic ConceptMeasuring Tips
The derived parameter is a handy figure, the decibel = dB
The decibel is not an absolute measuring unit (as e. g. °C) but
a ratio. A measured value is put into ratio of a reference value (sound
Example:This equals how many dB?
reference value = 20 uPa).
meas. acoustic sound: 20.000 μPa Log10 (1000) = 3
20.000 μPa
20 μPa= 1000

The “measuring range” (dynamic complexity) of the human ear ranges from 0 dB to approx 140 dB
hearing limit
from 0 dB to approx. 140 dB
In order to protect the health of mankind, ear protection has to be

Basic Concepts: Accuracy Classes Standard DIN/IEC 60651Standard DIN/IEC 60651
testo 815/816Applications 815Applications 816B i C tBasic ConceptMeasuring Tips
The accuracy classes for sound level meter are internationally standardised in the standard DIN/IEC 60651
The operating temperature range is -10...+50°C. Instruments working in a range of 0...40 °C, receive a L as identification
Example: Class 2L

microphone alignment distance to body
According to DIN/IEC standard a sound level meter has to bepositioned in a zero degrees angle towards the sound source. That is,the microphone points directly into the direction of the sound source.
In order to prevent interferences due to sound reflections on the body,the measuring instrument should be held at least 30cm away from the
