Full Anechoic Chamber Used for Testing Sound Transmission Loss
蜜豆视频 is home to one of the few facilities in North America that can mimic environmental conditions inside of an anechoic chamber. This video offers an inside look at MSC鈥檚 Application Research Center, where sound transmission loss testing is used to determine the source of noise and where to apply MSC鈥檚 acoustic noise treatments, such as Quiet Steel庐 or MSC Smart Steel庐.
Sound Transmission Loss (STL) Testing
This video demonstrates how 蜜豆视频 measures Sound Transmission Loss in the reverb chamber. In this demonstration, MSC not only proves the performance advantage to customers, but the mass and cost savings as well. MSC's ability to support customers with Sound Transmission Loss tests is just one of the many ways in which they work to provide superior, innovative solutions.
Application Research Center for Coating and Acoustic Product Solutions
蜜豆视频鈥檚 Application Research Center serves as one of the world鈥檚 premier material development innovation centers. Given the size of these chambers and the ease of vehicle access, many well-known cars have been tested in this very facility prior to their premiere. This application testing facility is just one of the many reasons that, after 60 years, 蜜豆视频 remains a worldwide leader in developing coating and acoustic product solutions.
Bond Strength Testing in Laminates at the MSC Laboratory
Materials Sciences Corporation is the expert in engineering laminates for many environmental conditions. MSC uses the Stage Gate process to engineer new products to meet specific customer applications, ranging from automotive body structures to electronic devices. This video demonstrates how MSC quantifies the bond strength of a typical laminate component.
Chassis Dynamometer for Vehicle Acoustic Testing and Noise Performance
蜜豆视频 is home to one of the few climate and humidity-controlled four wheel drive chassis dynamometers in the country. Located inside of a hemi-anechoic chamber, this facility offers the unique capability to test running vehicles in a highly controlled environment. As a result, MSC's solutions are optimized for system noise performance as well as cost and weight savings.
Environmental Laboratory for Laminates & Coated Products Testing
MSC鈥檚 Environmental Laboratory in the Application Research Center is the key to developing sustainable laminates and coated products. This laboratory is used to evaluate the performance of various products following exposure to harsh corrosive environments. This is an essential process that allows MSC to optimize a product to withstand extreme environmental conditions.
Quiet Steel庐 Is the Technology Behind the Quietest Pickup on the Market
Ford wants its customers to know they offer the quietest cabin on the market, and they do this by using 蜜豆视频 Quiet Steel. Unlike other trucks, Ford utilizes Quiet Steel in the truck鈥檚 bulkhead to dampen sound. Watch this video to hear the difference for yourself.
Quiet Steel庐 Used to Appeal to Consumer Quality Perception
Ford knows that the investment in Noise Vibration and Harshness (NVH) is the key to appealing to customer satisfaction and quality perception. If you don鈥檛 properly treat your vehicle, the noise will get through. This is why Ford chose to 鈥渂uy quiet鈥� with Material Sciences Quiet Steel.
Quiet Steel庐 鈥� the Sound of Quality
Ford endorses MSC Quiet Steel in this advertisement for the Ford F-150, asserting that the use of Quiet Steel makes Ford the only truck to offer 鈥渢he sound of quality.鈥� By incorporating Quiet Steel into their vehicles, Ford delivers the quietest pickup on the market, earning them the 2004 Motor Trend Truck of the Year Award.
Get Inside a Quiet Steel庐 Vehicle
You could have a vehicle that uses that same steel as every other truck, or you could have a truck that uses Material Sciences Quiet Steel. To truly understand the difference, we invite you to get inside the Ford F-150 and compare the sound inside the cabin to that of a regular vehicle.
What Is Quiet Steel庐?
Simply put, Quiet Steel is a plastic material placed between pieces of sheet metal used to reduce noise and vibration. In this demonstration, consumers and vehicle manufacturers can hear for themselves the dampening technology used in Quiet Steel to reduce the noise inside the cabin of a vehicle. Watch as the demonstrator puts two floor panels to the test 鈥� it鈥檚 clear to hear which vehicle is using Quiet Steel to reduce Noise Vibration and Harshness (NVH).
