BS EN 60534-8-3:1996 is a British Standard that specifies the performance requirements and testing methods for control valves. The standard is part of a series of standards developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to ensure the safe and efficient operation of industrial control systems.
The full title of the standard is "Industrial-process control valves - Part 8: Noise considerations - Section 3: Determination of sound power levels of control valve and associated equipment using sound intensity measurements".
This standard applies to control valves used in industrial processes, such as oil and gas production, chemical processing, and power generation. It provides guidance on how to measure the sound power levels of control valves and their associated equipment using sound intensity measurements. The standard also specifies the equipment and procedures required for these measurements.
The standard covers different types of control valves, including globe valves, butterfly valves, and diaphragm valves. It also covers the associated equipment, such as actuators, positioners, and piping. The standard provides guidelines for the placement of microphones and the measurement of sound pressure levels in the vicinity of the control valve.
Overall, BS EN 60534-8-3:1996 helps to ensure that control valves used in industrial processes meet minimum performance requirements and do not contribute to excessive noise levels in the workplace. The standard provides a standardized method for measuring the sound power levels of control valves and their associated equipment, which can be used to evaluate and compare different valve designs and configurations.
