Scope

GB/T 43073-2023 is the English-translated version of 气动 测量排气消声器声压级的试验方法.

GB/T 43073-2023 gives the test method for measuring the sound pressure level emitted by pneumatic exhaust silencers, equivalent to ISO 20145.

Compressed air exhaust is the dominant noise source in most assembly plants: every cylinder stroke ends with a blast of air to atmosphere, and with hundreds of valves firing continuously the result routinely exceeds the exposure limits.

Silencers are sold on a decibel reduction that has been measured however the maker chose, which is what makes a common method worth having. The standard sets the terms, symbols and units, the test conditions, the test procedure, the expression of the results and the marking instructions, with an informative annex on the measurement uncertainty. It took effect on 7 September 2023.

Foreword

This document specifies two methods of measuring the level of acoustic pressure at the outlet of an exhaust silencer:

- the first method, called "steady-state mode", is intended to evaluate the noise level under steady state flow, i.e. constant upstream pressure (steady-state test according to ISO 6358-1); and

- the second method, called "discharge", is intended to measure the noise level during the decrease of the pneumatic pressure (discharge test according to ISO 6358-2).

This document is applicable to pneumatic exhaust silencers and devices designed to reduce the sound produced by discharges of compressed air, entering in the scope of application of ISO 6358-1 and ISO 6358-2.

5.1 Test bench

According to the test method chosen, the test bench shall be in accordance with ISO 6358-1 (steady- state mode) or ISO 6358-2 (discharge mode). In particular, the size of the upstream measurement tube shall be in accordance with ISO 6358-1 specifications.

Relevant for the comparison of the sound emission is the pressure and the flow rate (flow rate is in this case a functional value to ensure that the silencer fits to the application). Therefore, it is recommended to use the test bench from ISO 6358-1 if possible as the measured flow rate is based on a stable pressure. If that in ISO 6358-2 is chosen, the values of pressure and flow change significantly within the test due to the nature of the discharge method. Therefore, the value of the flow rate shows a wider tolerance range

5.4.1 General

The measurement of sound pressure can be done at one or three positions. Measurement at three positions increases the precision of the result and reduces the uncertainty of the measurement. Direct incident flow on microphones should be avoided, due to noise generation by the microphones.
