Pneumatic fluid power - Test methods for measuring acoustic emission pressure levels of exhaust silencers

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);
• 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.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
