Standard Practice for Use of Sealants in Acoustical Applications
ORDER

Scope

1.1 This practice is a guide for the use of sealants to reduce the sound transmission characteristics of interior walls, ceilings, and floors by proper application of sealants to joints, voids, and penetrations normally found in building construction.

1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.3 The committee with jurisdiction over this standard is not aware of any comparable standards published by other organizations.

Significance and Use

Construction utilizing lightweight walls and floors can have undesirable sound transmission characteristics if care is not taken to seal joints and voids that are common to this type of construction. By sealing these penetrations the transmission of sound can be diminished.
