Sound pressure readings are for information only and are not subject to guarantee by Flowserve/IDP.
Decibel readings do not include driver or system noise.
Pump tested at 100% of the best efficiency point at max.impeller diameter with water.
dB correction for combining noises (pump+motor)
Add to the higher level to obtain
the combined noise level,dB
Note :
1) The values showed are measured at a distance of 1 mt. (horizontally) from major pump
surfaces and 1.5 mt. above the floor.
2) The values shown are expressed in dB (A)
3) For Noise Test Procedure refer to Works Standard L-109
4) The values shown have been derived from actual noise-test data and are based on the following conditions:
-
Equipment is located in a free field above a reflecting plane in which the reductionin noise level
in all directions is 6db in each octave band for each doubling of distance.
-
Background noise is 10dB minimum below all noise levels in each octave band.
-
The values shown are at a distance of 1 meter (horizontally) from the major pump surface and
1,5 meters above the floor, using a standard pressure reference of 0,00002 newton per square meter.
-
Overall noise level, dB(A) is determined at points of maximum noise level and the values of all
mid-band frequences are basis A scale readings.
5) Above values are given for 2950 RPM.
When the required condition flow is outside the range of 75 to 125% BEP, a part load correction (PLC) must be
added to the noise level as follows:
