Conventional methods to evaluate the absorption coefficient of materials use either a large reverberation room or wave guides such as standing-wave tubes or impedance tubes. These last methods have recently been extended so that other material properties such as airflow resistivity can also be evaluated using the same tubes. An advantage of the impedance tubes is that they can also be used to measure the acoustical and non-acoustical properties when the materials are under compression. The current study investigates the differences between two-microphone systems and three-microphone systems, and assess both the absorption coefficient and the flow resistivity of porous materials such as rock wool and fibreglass in both compressed and uncompressed conditions. Finally, the results of the study are discussed.
