Industrial-process control valves - Part 8-2: Noise considerations - Laboratory measurement of noise generated by hydrodynamic flow through control valves (IEC 60534-8-2:2011); German version EN 60534-8-2:2011
Stellventile für die Prozessregelung - Teil 8-2: Geräuschbetrachtungen - Laboratoriumsmessungen von Geräuschen bei flüssigkeitsdurchströmten Stellventilen (IEC 60534-8-2:2011); Deutsche Fassung EN 60534-8-2:2011
Overview
This main part of IEC 60534-8 describes the method for measuring the sound pressure level due to liquid flow through a control valve and the method for determining the characteristic increase of noise due to the onset of cavitation. It also defines the equipment, methods and procedures for the laboratory measurement of the airborne sound needed to determine these characteristics.
