Description of BS 5944-4:1984 1984This British Standard describes procedures for the deter-mination of the sound power levels of a hydraulic fluid power valve, under controlled conditions of installation and operation, suitable for providing a basis for comparing the noise levels of valves in terms of:
From these sound power levels, reference sound pressure levels may be calculated for reporting purposes (see clause 11). For general purposes, the frequency range of interest includes the octave bands with centre frequencies between 125 Hz and 8000 Hz. This method is applicable to all types of fluid power control valves operating with oil hydraulic fluids* under steady state conditions, irrespective of size or specific function, provided that the noise level measured is dominantly cavitation noise and the physical provisions of the method can be complied with. The procedures described are intended to measure the airborne noise level obtainable from a valve installation representing good noise control practice, including valve casing noise and the noise radiated by flexible fluid lines immediately adjacent to the valve. Other systems depenĀ¬dent factors are eliminated. The measurement of valve noise due to instability is specifically excluded from the provisions of this standard. Guidance on valve stability and its detection is given in appendix A. Guidance is also given in appendix B on measuring in an anechoic chamber. Accuracy of measurement is divided into three classes, A, B and C, which are explained in appendix C.
* e.g. hydraulic fluid designations L-HH, L-HL, L-HM, L-HR, L-HV and L-HG only as classified in BS 6413 : Part 4. Describes procedures for the determination of sound power levels of a hydraulic fluid power valve under controlled conditions of installation and operation, suitable for providing a basis for comparing the noise levels of valves.
