Standards and guidelines

On this page, you will find an overview of relevant standards and guidelines, as well as the MAUL-THEET products that can be used to perform the corresponding measurements and tests. In this context, “compliant” means that the test setup, measurement procedure and evaluation are designed in such a way that they reflect the requirements of the respective standard.

American Society for Testing and Materials

ASTM E756-05- Standard Test Method for Measuring Vibration-Damping Properties of Materials

Standard test method for measuring the vibration damping properties of materials (e.g. loss factor) as a basis for designing measures to reduce vibration and structure-borne noise.

ASTM E3397-23- Standard Practice for Resonance Testing Using the Impulse Excitation Method

Describes a method for non-destructive resonance testing using impulse excitation (IEM), in which the resonance behavior of components is recorded and compared with reference data in order to detect defects and material deviations.

Society of Automotive Engineers

SAE J1637- Laboratory Measurement of the Composite Vibration Damping Properties of Materials on a Supporting Steel Bar

Describes a laboratory method for determining damping properties (composite/material damping) using a defined steel beam as the reference setup.

SAE J2598- Automotive Disc Brake Pad Natural Frequency and Damping Test

Defines a test procedure for determining the natural frequencies and damping of disc brake pads under reproducible laboratory conditions.

SAE J2933- Verification of Brake Rotor and Drum Modal Frequencies

Describes how the modal natural frequencies of brake discs and drums are measured and verified against target/reference values.

SAE J3001- Brake Insulator Damping Measurement Procedure

Defines a measurement method for determining the damping of brake insulators in order to assess and compare their vibration- and noise-relevant behavior.

Verbands der Automobilindustrie

VDA 301- Eigenfrequenzmessung und Modalanalyse von Bremsscheiben in der Entwicklung

Describes the natural frequency and mode shape analysis of brake discs required during the development process and for development release (measurements on the raw part and on the fully machined disc).

VDA 302- Eigenfrequenzmessung von Bremsscheiben in der Serienproduktion

Specifies the procedure required in series production for measuring and analysing the natural frequencies of brake discs (front and rear axle).

Deutsches Institut für Normung

DIN 4150-2- Erschütterung im Bauwesen, Teil 2: Einwirkungen auf Menschen in Gebäuden

Defines a method for assessing vibration exposure affecting people in buildings, including source-specific adjustment of the evaluation.

DIN 4150-3- Erschütterung im Bauwesen, Teil 3: Einwirkungen auf Bauliche Anlagen

Specifies methods for determining and assessing vibration effects on structures that are primarily designed for static loads.

DIN EN ISO 9300- Measurement of gas flow by means of critical flow Venturi nozzles

Describes the measurement of gas flow using critical flow through Venturi and critical-flow nozzles, including specifications for flow-rate calculation and measurement uncertainty.

DIN SPEC 45653- In-situ-Ermittlung der Einfügungsdämpfung schallreduzierender Maßnahmen im Unterwasserbereich

Describes methods for experimentally determining the in-situ insertion loss of noise mitigation measures in underwater environments, e.g. in offshore contexts.
