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.Cross References:ISO 11202:2010ISO 6358-2IEC 61672-1IEC 60942ISO 4871ISO 6358-1IEC 61260ISO 3744ISO 3382-2All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
