Acoustic Fatigue Involving Large Turbocompressors And Pressure Reduction Systems.
Abstract
Much work has been done over the years to predict the potential
for acoustic fatigue in piping systems associated with pressure
reducing systems in the design stage. However, an easily usable
screening criteria for assessing the potential for acoustic fatigue for
operating installations has not been readily available to industry at
large. Based upon theory and empirical measurements, a near-field
sound pressure level screening method has been developed for
evaluating piping systems. A case history will be presented that
will incorporate the use of the near-field noise screening criteria
for risk assessment in an existing installation. It is hoped that the
use of this near-field noise screening criteria by industry will
enable users to assess the risk of acoustic fatigue, which will lead
to safer systems and help to determine the need for additional
measurements and analysis.
