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

IEC 60534-8-4:2015 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. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published 2005. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) Hydrodynamic noise is predicted as a function of frequency and b) Elimination of the acoustic power ratio.

Vannes de régulation des processus industriels - Partie 8-4: Considérations sur le bruit - Prévisions du bruit généré par un écoulement hydrodynamique

L'IEC 60534-8-4:(2015) établit une méthode pour prévoir le bruit engendré dans une vanne de régulation par un écoulement liquide et le niveau de bruit mesuré en aval de la vanne et à l'extérieur de la tuyauterie. Le bruit peut être généré à la fois par des turbulences normales et par la cavitation du liquide dans la vanne. Des parties de cette méthode sont basées sur des principes fondamentaux de l'acoustique, de la mécanique et de la mécanique des fluides. Cette méthode est validée par des résultats d'essai. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2005, dont elle constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) Le bruit hydrodynamique est prévu en fonction de la fréquence; b) Suppression du rapport de puissance acoustique.

Regulacijski ventili za industrijske procese - 8-4. del: Obravnava šuma - Predvidevanje šuma, ki ga proizvaja hidrodinamični pretok (IEC 60534-8-4:2015)

Ta del standarda IEC 60534 določa metodo za predvidevanje šuma, ki ga v regulacijskem ventilu proizvaja hidrodinamični pretok, in nastale ravni šuma, izmerjene v smeri toka v ventilu in zunaj cevi. Šum lahko proizvajata običajna turbulenca in kavitacija tekočine v ventilu. Deli metode temeljijo na temeljnih načelih akustike, mehanike tekočin in mehanike. Metodo potrjujejo rezultati preskusov.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure th
