Micro-perforated partitions (MPPs) are robust mid-frequency sound absorbers of practical interest in room acoustics, but also under severe environmental conditions such as in combustion chambers. Experimental characterization of their sound absorption properties is essential to validate the visco-thermal dissipation mechanisms assumed in the models. A number of measurement procedures and test set-ups are presented to estimate the absorption of single- or multi-layer MPPs undergoing acoustic or aerodynamic excitations. In particular, two-sources impedance tube techniques using four microphones enabled sound absorption and transmission measurements through small-sized MPPs under plane wave or multi-modal propagation conditions. Pressure-velocity probe techniques are also described for measuring the sound absorption properties of rigidly-backed MPPs with larger sample size. A dedicated procedure is finally presented to estimate the absorption of boundary layer noise by MPPs flush-mounted in a wind-tunnel test section. The potential and limitations of each of these methods are discussed.
