Sound Attenuating Cubicles

Expanded PVC Cubicles

ENV-022V

ENV-022V
Standard Expanded PVC
Sound Attenuating Cubicle

This sound attenuating cubicle features a truly remarkable new material, which is rigid, lightweight board of moderately expanded closed cell PVC that is resistant to moisture and many chemicals. Chamber walls are 0.75" (1.9 cm) thick. The walls of these units are 100% PVC with a smooth white surface similar to rigid PVC cubicles, but much lighter in weight. The sound properties are consistent with other sound attenuating cubicles. At 2 KHz, measured 2.0" (5.1 cm) in front of a closed door, this cubicle is 34 db down compared with 25 db down for an equivalent MDF cubicle. At 10 KHZ, it is 54 db down, better then the 51 db attenuation of the MDF cubicle.

Dimensions:
Interior: 22.0" W x 15.0" H x 14.0" D
(55.9 cm x 38.1 cm x 35.6 cm)
Exterior: 25.0" W x 16.5" H x 15.5" D
(63.5 cm x 41.9 cm x 39.4 cm)

Special Note:
Recommended for 008 series standard rodent modular test chambers and 307 series mouse modular test chamber.

ENV-018V
Extra Tall Expanded PVC
Sound Attenuating Cubicle

This sound attenuating cubicle features a truly remarkable new material, which is a rigid, lightweight board of moderately expanded closed cell PVC that is resistant to moisture and many chemicals. Chamber walls are 0.75" (1.9 cm) thick. The walls of these units are 100% PVC with a smooth white surface similar to rigid PVC cubicles, but much lighter in weight. The sound properties are consistent with other sound attenuating cubicles. At 2 KHz, measured 2.0" (5.1 cm) in front of a closed door, this cubicle is 34 dB down compared with 25 dB down for an equivalent MDF cubicle. At 10 KHz, it is 54 dB down, better than the 51 dB attenuation of the MDF cubicle.

Dimensions:
Interior: 22.0" W x 22.0" H x 14.0" D

MDF Cubicles

ENV-022MD

ENV-022MD
Standard MDF Sound Attenuating Cubicle

This sound attenuating cubicle is manufactured using MDF, a high density wood composite with thermally infused high pressure white colored laminate inside and out. Sound attenuation levels measured between two enclosures average 44.33 db from 100 Hz–10 KHz, increasing to 80 db above 10 KHz. The double door construction with self-closing hinges prevents door sag. This design also permits convenient animal loading where space is at a premium. This cubicle measures two inches deeper then the expanded PVC cubicle (ENV-018V), making it more flexible to add components to the modular test chambers and still allow the cubicle doors to close without interference.

Dimensions:
Interior: 22.0" W x 15.0" H x 16.0" D
(55.9 cm x 38.1 cm x 35.6 cm)
Exterior: 25.0" W x 16.5" H x 17.5" D
(63.5 cm x 41.9 cm x 39.4 cm)

Special Note:
Recommended for 008 series standard rodent modular test chambers and 307 series mouse modular test chamber.

ENV-025wmf

ENV-025WM-F
Single MDF Door with Full Viewing Window

It is possible to place a single MDF door with a full size window on the MDF cubicles however, this will cause a slight decrease in sound attenuation. This
is suitable for group viewing or videotaping applications.

Special Note:
Not recommended for expanded PVC cubicles.

ENV-025WM

ENV-025WM
Expanded PVC and Melamine Viewing Window Option

This option adds a single pane 0.22" (6.4 cm) polycarb viewing window measuring 8.0" W x 7.0" H (20.3 cm x 17.8 cm) to any expanded PVC or melamine sound attenuating cubicle. Some sound attenuation may be lost in front of the cubicle but this generally has no effect on cubicles placed side by side. The window is shown here is with the deep extra tall MDF cubicle (ENV-018MD). Contact Sales for details.
