[21] When heavy gauge steel or wood studs are spaced 16 inches (410 mm) on center, additional resonances form which further lower the sound isolation performance of a partition.

3. Janka hardness test - Wikipedia

   For hardwood flooring, the test usually requires an 80 mm × 150 mm (3 in × 6 in) sample with a thickness of at least 6–8 mm, and the most commonly used test is the ASTM D1037. When testing wood in lumber form, the Janka test is always carried out on wood from the tree trunk (known as the heartwood), and the standard sample (according to ...

4. Impact insulation class - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_insulation_class

   Impact insulation class (or IIC) is an integer-number rating of how well a building floor attenuates impact sounds, such as footsteps. A larger number means more attenuation. The scale, like the decibel scale for sound, is logarithmic.

5. Rating plate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rating_plate

   For an electric machine, the power rating is the number on its rating plate and corresponds to a maximum electric load it can carry. There is a distinction between the continuous rating (for generators, continuous maximum rating or CMR [ 2 ] ), at which the machine can be operational without a time limit and short-term rating that can only be ...

   In 1971 "Micro=Lam LVL" was introduced. "Micro=Lam LVL" consisted of laminated veneer lumber billets 4 feet (1.2 m) wide, 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches (89 mm) thick, and 80 feet (24 m) long. Troutner proved the structural capabilities of his Micro=Lam product by building a house in Hagerman, Idaho, using beams made of Micro=Lam.
