These wall assembly files are used for planning and estimation purposes for many ul wall types such as fire rated wall assemblies.
Stc 50 wall types.
The stc results of decoupling in wall and ceiling assemblies varies significantly depending on the framing type air cavity volume and decoupling material type.
Stc is calculated by taking the transmission loss tl values tested at 16 standard frequencies over the range of 125 hz to 4000 hz and plotted on a graph.

In 1961 stc was introduced as the method for comparing various wall ceiling floor door and window assemblies.
Weigh at least 50 less than masonry walls allowing faster easier installation for more information see the following brochures.
