Finish Conclusion Writing test result data Discussion Testing absorptive sound ANSI S1.13 The impact test ASTM D 256-00 Bending test ASTM D 790-02 Method of making a composite with a press mold Making sound absorption test specimens according to standard Manufacture of test specimens and impact bending test according to standard Moisture content testing and testing density Coconut shell charcoal V f 40, 50, 60 Sponge and plywood Manufacture molds according to standard PVAC Glue Coconut shell charcoal Start Field Survey and Study Library Preparation of materials and equipment 8 3.2 Preparation Material of Composite Manufacturing Materials used in this study are as follows: a. Coconut shell charcoal powder Coconut shell charcoal in the first drying until water content is known to be 8-10. Coconut shell charcoal is used to create a composite thickness of 20mm. By using a microscope, it is known diameter of coconut shell charcoal powder. Of the test results, the average diameter of the powder obtained by 11.98 . Figure 4. Coconut Shell Charcoal b. Fox glue PVAc The type of fox glue PVAc that used is D 1505 and this matrix is white. Figure 5. Fox Glue c. Sponge and plywood Sponge and plywood used is a sheet with size 50cm x 30cm. Figure 6. Sponge and Plywood

3.3 Tools Preparation

The tools used in this study are: a. Water Content Test Device Water content test device used to measure the moisture content of coconut shell charcoal. Figure 7. Water Content Test b. Digital Scales Digital scales are the scales used to weigh the powder of coconut shell charcoal and fox glue matrix PVAC. Figure 8. Digital Scales c. Specimen dies 1. Sound Absorption dies Dies are used for sound absorption tests are made of sheet plate with a length of 1000 mm, width 500 mm, thickness 3 mm and in the bulkhead into 3 sections with 33 mm size of the plate length. Figure 9. Sound Absorption Dies 2. Mechanical Test Dies The dies made from teak wood. The size of 150x40x60 mm used for impact test, whereas for bending test is 150x60x60 mm. 9 Figure 10. Mechanical Test Dies d. Tool presses of dies This press mold is used to help the manufacturing process of composite. The press tool made of metal with diagonal of 40x40 mm. Figure 11. Tool Pres of Dies e. Other Tolls These tools are used to assist the process of composites manufacturing. These tools consist of bucket, stirrer, scissors, knives, cater, brushes, spoons, rulers, markers and kits pasta. Figure 12. Other Tool f. Bending Test Tool The tools used to perform the bending test of composites are Universal Testing Machine. Figure 13. bending test Tool g. Impact Test Tool Charpy impact test tool. This tool is used to perform impact test of composites. Figure 14. Impact Test Tool h. Sound Level Meter Sound level meter is a device used to test the sound absorption. Figure 15. Sound Level Meter RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 4.1 Impact Test The composite impact test use charpy method that is done by making the specimen in accordance with the standard ASTM D 256-00. Figure 16. Impact test Result 10 Table 1. Impact Test From the table above can be created histogram from average energy absorption and the average impact value composite coconut shell charcoal powder with various volume fractions of 40, 50 and 60 with PVAC glue matrix. Diagram 1. average energy absorption and the average impact value composite coconut shell charcoal powder In the histogram above shows that the highest average at impact number is 40 volume fraction of 0.0100 J mm ² and the lowest average impact number is 60 volume fraction of 0.0063 J mm ²
