Absorption Greater than 1.0

For a grazing wave, sound power is absorbed but there is technically no “incident power”. The absorbed power increases when the sample has a finite size.

ASTM C423
Section 5.3 Diffraction effects usually cause the apparent area of a specimen to be greater than its geometrical area, thereby increasing the coefficients measured according to this test method. When the test specimen is highly absorptive, these values may exceed unity.
Section 5.4 Regardless of the differences and the necessity for judgment, coefficients measured by the test method have been used successfully by architects and consultants in the acoustical design of architectural spaces.

Diffuse Field Absorption
1. Input layered sound absorber properties (thickness, flow resistivity, etc.).
2. Use empirical models and transfer matrix theory to determine normal incidence impedance (𝑍 ) and normal incidence sound absorption (𝛼 ) in 1/6 octave bands.
3. Use normal incidence impedance and sample size to determine diffuse field sound absorption (𝛼 ).
