Title: Meter Station Noise Forecasting

Abstract: Noise in the meter station is produced by noise generators within the piping system. These noise generators can be swages, headers, compressors, gate valves, heaters , regulators , control valves or any other device capable of transforining potential and kinetic energy into sound energy. Technical advances have made it possible to measure this sound accurately. What is more important, however, is that empirical testing and data gathering has produced a technique for forecasting a majority of the noises generated at a meter station. Meter station noise forecasting with accuracy poses unusual problems because of the numerous noise generators within any given piping system. The forecasting problem, however, can be minimized and solved If the predominant noise generators (pressure regulators and control valves) can be examined individually.
