SPLC Fails
EVERYTHING ABOUT THISremember the purpose of deadener is to provide damping. thickness is not a useful metric. you can increase thickness by injecting air into the process without increasing material, cost, or damping benefits.
you need to be able to quantify the elastomeric and viscoelastic properties of the materials in order to compare them.
the only true test of deadener uses accelerometers and thermal monitoring.
you need to capture these:
this is the kind of data i want to see for a deadener comparison:
I bet I could get Don to test his CLD tiles with this testing method...
