Enter the volume of the room (ft^3) and the total area of absorption (sabins) into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Reverberation Time.

## Reverberation Time Formula

RT = .049 * (V/A)

Variables:

• RT is the Reverberation Time (sec)
• V is the volume of the room (ft^3)
• A is the total area of absorption (sabins)

To calculate Reverberation Time, divide the volume of the room by the total area of absorption, then multiply by .049.

## How to Calculate Reverberation Time?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Reverberation Time.

1. First, determine the volume of the room (ft^3).
2. Next, determine the total area of absorption (sabins).
3. Next, gather the formula from above = RT = .049 * (V/A).
4. Finally, calculate the Reverberation Time.
5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem :

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

the volume of the room (ft^3) = 500

the total area of absorption (sabins) = 7.5
