Project

Industrial-process control valves - Part 8-4: Noise considerations - Prediction of noise generated by hydrodynamic flow

Abstract

This part of IEC 60534 establishes a method to predict the noise generated in a control valve by liquid flow and the resulting noise level measured downstream of the valve and outside of the pipe. The noise may be generated both by normal turbulence and by liquid cavitation in the valve. Parts of the method are based on fundamental principles of acoustics, fluid mechanics, and mechanics. The method is validated by test data.
