Ambient definition

Ambient means when applied to the physical conditions under which gas volume is measured, a temperature of 20 °C and an absolute pressure of 84,5 kPa;

Ambient means that portion of the atmosphere, external to buildings, to which the general public has access.

Ambient sound means the sound level at a given location that exists as a result of the combined contribution in that location of all sound sources, excluding the contribution of a source or sources under investigation for violation of this code and excluding the contribution of extraneous sound sources. For purposes of the enforcement of this code, the ambient sound level of a given location may be determined based upon measurements taken at a comparable site (which includes but is not limited to comparable physical locations and time of day) in the nearby area.

More Definitions of Ambient

Ambient means surrounding, especially of or pertaining to the environment about an entity, but undisturbed and unaffected by it.

Ambient means that concentration which exists without point source pollution as established by MLBC Research Lab.

Ambient means surrounding or background noise associated with a given environment, usually a composite of sounds from many sources.

Ambient means something that surrounds, or is in the background, such as the level of light, dust or noise.

Ambient means the environmental condition determined by the level of an indicator, measured in a manner and at a location specified by the Authority;

Ambient means the temperature of the air in the spray area at which a spray application process takes place;

Ambient means the average sound level during a six-minute period as measured with a precision sound level meter, using slow response and "A" weighting. The sound level shall be determined with the noise source at issue silent and in the same location as the measurement of the noise level of the source or sources at issue. If for any reason the alleged offending noise source cannot be shut down, the ambient noise must be estimated by performing a measurement in the same general area of the source but at a sufficient distance that the noise from the source is at least ten dB below the ambient so that only the ambient level is measured. If the difference between the ambient and the noise source is five to nine dB, then the level of the ambient itself can be determined by subtracting a one dB correction to account for the contribution of the source.
