Table 6.

Maximum admissible Intensities (MAI): Value for Ultrasonic Noise [80].

1/3-Octave Band Frequency, f (kHz) Lf, eq, 8 h, adm Lf, eq, wk, adm (dB) Lf, max, adm (dB)
10, 12.5, 16 80 100
20 90 110
25 105 125
31.5, 40 110 130

Lf, eq, 8 h, adm is the equivalent continuous sound pressure levels in the 1/3-octave bands, normalized to a nominal 8 h daily work. Lf, eq, wk, adm is the equivalent continuous sound pressure levels in the 1/3-octave bands normalized to a 40 h workweek. Lf, max, adm is the maximum sound pressure levels in the 1/3-octave bands.
