End correction of a closed pipe

In summary: According to wiki, end correction is:the adjustment of the end of a resonant pipe to compensate for changes in its length, often due to changes in pipe size or age.

i think there are theoretical analysis of the correction by Rayleigh and others and one will have to go through their work...as people who are manufacturing the organ pipes do take care for the exactness of the frequencies to be excited by the pipes

for example one can see;
Lord Rayleigh, Theory of Sound, Vol II, §314 (Dover, NY, 1945 [1896] ) p.201 ff.

Check the correction term ;
perhaps it is 0.3 r or 0.6 D where r and D are radius and diameter of the pipe respectively.

According to wiki there is not:

There is no scientifically proven and accepted value for the end correction of a resonant tube, various values ranging from 0.3r to 0.6r have been suggested from numerous disparate experiments. Lord Rayleigh was the first experimenter to publish a figure, in 1871: it was 0.3r.

Take from that what you will.

Did you mean "0.6r or 0.3D"?

is it 0.3 d where d is in cm or m
 

1. What is end correction in a closed pipe?

End correction in a closed pipe refers to the adjustment needed to account for the physical dimensions of the pipe's end when calculating the resonant frequency of the pipe. This correction is necessary because the actual effective length of the pipe is longer than the length that is measured.

2. How is end correction calculated?

End correction can be calculated by adding the radius of the pipe to the measured length of the pipe, and then dividing that value by 2. The resulting value is then added to the measured length to get the corrected length of the pipe.

3. Why is end correction important in acoustics?

End correction is important in acoustics because it affects the resonant frequency of a closed pipe. If the end correction is not accounted for, the calculated resonant frequency of the pipe will be inaccurate, which can impact the performance of instruments such as flutes and organ pipes.

4. How does end correction vary for different pipe shapes?

The end correction varies for different pipe shapes because the radius of the pipe's end is different for each shape. For example, a cylindrical pipe will have a different end correction than a conical pipe, even if they have the same measured length.

5. Can end correction be negative?

Yes, end correction can be negative. This occurs when the pipe's end is flared or tapered, resulting in a larger radius at the end. In this case, the end correction value will be subtracted from the measured length of the pipe to get the corrected length.
