Industrial-process control valves -- Part 8-1: Noise considerations - Laboratory measurement of noise generated by aerodynamic flow through control valves

This part of IEC 60534-8 defines equipment, methods, and procedures for obtaining laboratory measurements of sound pressure levels radiated by control valves and/or associated piping configurations, including fixed restrictions, through which compressible fluids are passing. Control valves discharging to atmosphere are excluded from this standard. Method A is a uniform method of measuring the radiated noise from the valve and associated test piping and allows a comparison of various measuring results which is beneficial for both user and manufacturer. The noise criteria are expressed by determining the sound pressure level of the valve under consideration. Method B is a procedure for measuring the sound pressure levels within pipe systems upstream and downstream of the valve under fixed operating conditions. Since inaccuracies due to the pipe transmission are eliminated, this method is preferred for evaluation of the acoustical characteristic of valves. The noise characteristics to be determined are useful for the following reasons: a) to compare the performance of different valves; b) to plan measures for noise abatement; c) to determine acoustical characteristics of valves and valve assemblies; d) to enable proper sizing of sound absorbers; e) to determine possible adverse effects on ultra-sonic flow meter measurements.

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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60534-8-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 65B: Devices, of
IEC technical committee 65: Industrial-performance measurement and control.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1986. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This standard has been revised to obtain consistency in describing the methods for measuring
internal and external sound pressure measurements and to update the description of the
instrumentation from analog to digital.

Control valves discharging to atmosphere are excluded from this standard.
Method A is a uniform method of measuring the radiated noise from the valve and associated

The noise characteristics to be determined are useful for the following reasons:
a) to compare the performance of different valves;
b) to plan measures for noise abatement;
c) to determine acoustical characteristics of valves and valve assemblies;
d) to enable proper sizing of sound absorbers;
