Control Valve Noise Calculation Tool (Excel, IEC/ISA)

IEC/ISA Compliance

This tool provides two sets of worksheets, one set complying with IEC 60534-8-3:2015 and ISA-75.01.01 standards and another set using the simplified non-IEC ABC Method. The ABC Method sacrifices some of the accuracy of the IEC method in the name of simplicity and ease of use. Also, the ABC Method may not fully account for nuances of specific valve designs or unusual operating conditions that the IEC standard may capture. It also has inherent limitations and only works within a range of conditions. Take advantage of both methods so you may meet regulatory requirements and industry best practices for noise control.
