In this paper we present a new technique for the measurement of specific impedance of acoustic materials based on the method of finite differences using acoustic pressure measurements with a single microphone in a Kundt tube. This method permits prediction of the acoustic pressure in all the points of the tube. We show here the algorithm and its modifications for the evaluation of acoustic impedance. Some comparisons with other methods are also considered.
