Summary

Cavitation can occur in control valves handling fluids, causing loud noise as well as damaging valve components. A standardized procedure to evaluate destructiveness of cavitation does not exist, whereas noise emission can reliably be predicted with the new international EN 60534-8-4 standard. A new method solves this problem by evaluating structure-borne noise in the ultrasonic range.
