"Victaulic couplings dampened the overall vibration amplitude by 80-90%." (as determined by SSA Acoustics in Seattle, Washington)
Mechanical equipment vibrates and virbations make noise.
When those noises become cyclic and droning or arrive in sudden bursts when equipment switches on, then there is a problem. Especially in industrial and/or HVAC applications where buildings are occupied.
Piping System Design
When placed in a formation of three couplings linked near to each other in close proximity to the source of vibration, Victaulic mechanical pipe systems deliver unsurpassed vibration isolation and sound attenuation characteristics.
Victaulic flexible couplings provide vibration attenuation in three ways:
-
Pipe end separation
-
Elastomer gasket
-
Ductile iron housing
In any application where undesired noise is being transferred through the piping system, owners and engineers who specify mechanical joining receive two vitally important benefits:
1) significantly higher productivity
2) significantly reduced sound
