EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60534-8-3 testing. IEC EN 60534-8-3 establishes a theoretical method for estimating the external sound pressure level produced by the flow of compressible fluids at a control valve and adjacent pipe expanders.
This method considers only single-phase dry gases and vapors and is based on the perfect gas laws. Downstream pipes are assumed to be straight for at least 2 m from the noise measurement point.
The method is applicable to the following single-stage valves:
The purpose of this standard is to provide a uniform method for estimating the aerodynamic noise produced by control valves used in industrial processes. Noise produced by control valves can be a major problem in industrial environments and being able to predict and control this noise is essential to ensure a safe and comfortable working environment.
The standard provides a detailed method for estimating aerodynamic noise based on valve design and operating conditions. The method includes several input parameters such as valve type, size, flow rate, pressure drop, and fluid properties. These parameters are used to calculate the aerodynamic noise produced by the valve.
The standard also includes guidance, including the use of predicted noise levels, how to compare them to noise limits, and how to use the results to select appropriate control valves for a particular application.
Overall, IEC EN 60534-8-3 provides a valuable tool for engineers and designers in the industrial process control industry to predict and control the aerodynamic noise produced by control valves.
