1. SCOPE This Guide presents sound level limits and sound level test requirements for installation of equipment in main plant areas. Vendor/purchaser (contractor) responsibilities and equipment sound level guarantee tests for compliance with the sound level limits are included. The equipment sound level limits herein are the maximum sound level limits acceptable from a single equipment item in order to achieve the desired area sound levels. Equipment location and the proximity to other equipment will determine if the equipment should level limits as specified in this Guide shall be reduced.

3. GENERAL 3.1 Unless superseded by the project specifications to meet particular personnel and/or community sound level limits, the sound level limits for equipment as specified herein shall not be exceeded. 3.2 The sound level limits and sound level test requirements of this Guide shall be used to purchase plant equipment in all Mobil onshore facilities. 3.3 The equipment sound level limits of this Guide are intended to: (a) Provide maximum combined equipment sound levels in a plant that will satisfy both in plant and community governmental requirements. (b) Reduce the requirements for special periodic sound level surveys, hearing tests, and additional record keeping as mandated by governmental regulations. (c) Facilitate compliance with foreseeable lower sound level regulations at reasonable cost and with minimal disruption of plant operations. Where there is conflict between the sound level specifications of this Guide and other Mobil Engineering Guides, the acoustical requirements of this Guide shall govern. 4. EQUIPMENT SOUND LEVEL LIMITS This section specifies the maximum sound pressure levels (Group 1 through III) and maximum sound power levels (Groups IV through VII) at various octave band frequencies measured at specified locations for various groups of equipment. For sound pressure levels, sound power levels, and equipment designations, see Paragraphs 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, respectively. Restriction of equipment octave band sound levels will provide the equipment with the correct, overall dBA value. Specifying a dBA value only could result in excessively noisy equipment. 4.1 Pressure Level

Sound pressure levels, Lp, in decibels, dB (ref 20 micropascals), as required in Table 1, represent averaged upper limits that shall not be exceeded by the vendors equipment in any octave band.

Exceptions to Sound Level Limits

Limits for intermittent acoustic emissions, or operation that occurs less than 5 percent of the time during a work shift and fewer than six times per hour, may be 5 dB higher than for continuous sound levels (except Group II, Table 1). However, no such allowance shall be made for sound of a periodic or hammering character. If narrow band noise occurs, as measured in one-third octave bands, the sound pressure level limits in the octave band shall be reduced by 5 dB. Where one-third octave band data are unavailable, equipment shall be deemed to have narrow band components when there is an audible tone (hum, whine, screech, etc.) associated with that equipment under normal running conditions. 5. VENDOR/PURCHASER RESPONSIBILITY 5.1 Data Required

5.1.1 The vendor shall complete the Vendor Equipment Sound Level Report Forms (see Appendix B) and shall submit them to the purchaser with the vendors quotation and signed guarantee. When sound pressure levels are requested and sound power levels are also available, this information should be included in the report. When equipment is motor driven, data for both driven and driving equipment shall be submitted. 5.1.2 Requests for quotations shall specify maximum permissible sound level limits of equipment as !12 a tabulation of sound power level, LW (ref 10 W), or as sound pressure level, LP (ref 20 Pa). Requests for quotations shall be accompanied by the Vendor Equipment Sound Level Report Forms Appendix B); maximum permissible sound level limits shall be designated on this report. 5.1.3 Purchase orders shall specify maximum sound level limits of equipment as guaranteed by the vendor. 5.2 Special Designs

5.2.1 When the purchaser's requirements cannot be satisfied by the vendor's standard design, alternatives for special design or for acoustical treatment of standard design shall be quoted. 5.2.2 When an alternative acoustical treatment is quoted by the vendor, the proposal shall contain all pertinent design details, cost, and effect on performance, if any. 5.2.3 Abatement designs shall not limit equipment operation or accessibility, nor shall they create any safety or fire hazards. 5.3 Guarantee

5.3.1 The vendor's equipment shall not exceed the sound levels stated in the purchase order. Any remedial work performed by either purchaser or vendor as a result of the latter's failure to meet the guaranteed sound level shall be at the expense of the vendor. Equipment shall be made available for remedial work at a time designated by the purchaser. 5.3.2 The purchase reserves the right to reject any item which, when shop tested (using specified test procedures), does not meet the required sound level limits. If the shop test has been waived (see Paragraph 5.4.2) and the equipment exceeds required sound level limits on field testing, remedial vendor action will be required (see Paragraph 5.3.1)

MOBIL ENGINEERING GUIDE EGE 00-B-5 1989 5.4 Guarantee Test

PAGE 6 OF 15 FEBRUARY 1989

5.4.1 A sound level guarantee acceptance test shall be performed by the vendor (see Section 6). The vendor should notify the purchaser three weeks prior to the date on which the shop- or fieldwitnessed test is to be made so that a purchaser representative may be present. 5.4.2 The requirement for a sound level test may be waived, subject to Mobil approval, for suppliers of known capability furnishing equipment similar to that recently purchased by Mobil (or the purchaser), and with which Mobil has had experience. Acceptance sound level testing may be waived by the purchaser with Mobil approval, provided acceptable and certified equipment sound level tests are furnished. 5.4.3 Charges for testing and any increase in the quoted price, because of sound level specifications, shall be shown as separate items in the vendors quotations. 6. EQUIPMENT SOUND LEVEL GUARANTEE TEST 6.1 General

When required (see Paragraph 5.4), a guarantee acceptance test shall be made prior to shipment in accordance with this section. The vendors responsibilities are as follows: (a) The vendor shall clearly describe the test conditions and note any differences from operating conditions. (b) If the vendor supplies LW ratings, he shall state the basis on which they have been established and whether directivity has been noted. For measurement locations and calculation procedures acceptable to the purchaser, see Table 3 and Appendix A. (c) If equipment ratings are supplied on the basis of LP, the vendor shall report all pertinent details on test report forms (see Paragraph 6.6). Any exceptions shall be stated for evaluation by the purchaser. 6.2 Sound Level Test Procedures

6.2.1 Test procedures to establish Lp or Lw (guide limits) shall be in conformance with Table 3, Appendix A, and the following: (a) Tests shall be made at the vendors plant or in a suitable test location provided by the vendor and at his expense. (b) Where feasible, tests to establish Lw should be conducted in a test room, preferably 1700 m (60,000 ft) minimum, with no sound-absorbing treatment. (c) In every octave band, the ambient sound levels within the test location should be at least 10 dB below the total sound level (ambient plus machinery); if not, background sound level corrections shall be made. If either ambient or machine sound levels fluctuate appreciably, maximum levels should be recorded. If conditions do not permit the 10 dB difference between ambient and total, correction factors shown in Paragraph 6.5) shall be used. Where this difference is less than 3 dB for any octave band, ambient sound levels will be excessive and the locations shall be unacceptable for testing.

(d) The test microphone should be placed so that it is protected from air currents (use wind-screen) vibration, electric or magnetic fields, and other influences that might affect the readings. Location and orientation of the microphone shall be identical for measurement of total and ambient background sound levels. (e) The entire area surrounding the equipment should be explored to locate the point of maximum sound level. Starting from this point, measurements shall be made in accordance with Table 3. Additional readings shall be specified if a directivity pattern is to be established. (f) Instruments shall be in accordance with Paragraph 6.3; measurements shall be in dBA (A-weighted), dBC (C-weighted), and octave bands, unless otherwise specified. (g) The equipment tested shall be isolated from any extraneous noise as follows: (1) A noisy temporary base excited by vibration of the machine: Vibration isolation or damping shall be used. (2) Noisy test loops with pressure-reducing valves: Silencers and acoustical lagging of valves and pipes shall be used. (3) Open inlets or outlets on equipments Silencers shall be used at the openings.

(h) Unless otherwise specified, equipment shall be tested at full load. In any equipment situation where the sound levels in the nonloaded condition exceed those in the loaded condition, the vendor shall so specify to the purchaser. (I) Outdoor tests for sound power level determinations of equipment (Groups IV through VII) shall not be conducted under adverse atmospheric conditions such as rain, fog, atmospheric inversion, or winds exceeding 16.1 km/h (10 mph). mph). 6.2.2 When several identical units are to be purchased, the number of units to be tested shall be specified in the purchase order. 6.2.3 Test results shall be reported to the purchaser for analysis and acceptance before equipment is shipped, unless otherwise specified. All pertinent data shall be recorded by the vendor personnel conducting the test. The forms shown in Paragraph 6.6 shall be used when sound level tests are reported. Where sound level tests are the calculation procedures of Appendix A shall be used. 6.3 Sound Level Test Instruments

6.3.1 A Type-1 precision sound level meter including microphone, as specified in ANSI S1.4, shall be used to measure sound levels. 6.3.2 An octave band analyzer, type E, Class II, as specified in ANSI S1.11, is the required octave band analyzer. The analyzer may be used with a sound level meter or preamplifier, if required. 6.3.3 Instruments shall be calibrated by means of an acoustical calibration of coupler type (ANSI S1.4) and as recommended by the instrument manufacturer. Overall calibration of the instruments, including the microphone, and internal calibration of the meters shall be made before and after testing each piece of equipment.

APPENDIX A SOUND POWER LEVEL CALCULATIONS Calculation procedures to establish the sound power level, from sound pressure level test readings for Groups IV, V, VI, and VII (see Table 3 for measurement locations), are outlined in this appendix. A-1. Group IV Air-Cooled Heat Exchangers (Each Fan)

The sound power level for the hemispheric and cylindrical surfaces for each frequency shall be calculated from the test readings by means of Equation A-1: Hemisphere: LW = LP + 10 log10 2BR Cylinder: LW = LP + 10 log10 2BR
2 2

(A-1)

Where: LW = sound power level of the hemisphere or cylinder, in decibels !12 (ref 10 W).
LP = average sound pressure level of all the test readings on the hemisphere or cylinder, in decibels (ref 20 Pa). R= H= radius of the measuring surface of the projected imaginary hemisphere or cylinder, in meters. height of the bay geometric center plane above grade, in meters.

With fans in the bay operating at nominal design tip speed, horsepower, and static pressure, sound pressure level readings shall be taken at the measurement locations indicated in Table 3 for Equipment Item 16. If the difference between the highest and lowest test readings on the respective hemisphere and cylinder reading locations is not larger than 6 dB, the readings for the respective areas may be averaged arithmetically. Otherwise, logarithmic averages shall be established. Sound power level values for each frequency shall calculated separately for the hemisphere and cylinder. The total sound power level for the bay shall be obtained for each frequency by summing logarithmically the values obtained for the hemisphere and cylinder power levels. If the bay contains two identical operating fans during the test, the sound power level for one fan shall be determined by subtracting 3 dB in each octave band from the total sound power level obtained for the total buy with two fans operating. If the test is run at slightly lower than design horse-power (hp), the sound power level test results shall be corrected to design sound power level as follows:

MOBIL ENGINEERING GUIDE EGE 00-B-5 1989

PAGE 12 OF 15 FEBRUARY 1989

LW design = LW test + 10 (log10 hpdesign ! log10 hptest) If the test is run at slightly higher than design hp, the sound power test results shall be corrected to design sound power level as follows: LW design = LW test ! 10 (log10 hptest ! log 10 hpdesign) A-2. Group V Cooling Towers (Each Cell-Fan Plus Water Noise)

The cooling tower sound power level for each frequency shall be calculated by Equation A-2: Where: S= LW + LP + 10 log S measuring surface area, in square meters. (A-2)

With water flowing over the fill at the design rate in gallons per minute (GPM) and with the fan operating, sound pressure level reading shall be taken over the area of the air intakes and on a 10-meter hemisphere radius above the fan. Sound power level values for each frequency shall be calculated separately for each zone. The total sound power level of the cooling tower shall be obtained by logarithmically summing the individual Lw values obtained. A-3. Groups VI and VII Ground and Elevated Flares

Sound power level for each frequency shall be calculated from test readings by means of Equation A-3: Where: LW = LP + 10 log 2BR + a

(A-3)

R= distance between the flare centerline and the measuring position, in meters. a= air absorption sound level reductions based on distance and atmospheric condition for given frequencies.
