Course description
Noise in Hydraulic Systems
This specialist course can be run on customer request either in Bath or at your premises. We also run it as part of our course programme if there is enough interest - contact us if you want to be informed about any future dates. The course provides a description of the mechanisms by which fluid-borne noise is generate, transmitted and mitigated. It covers:
- Experimental methods for measuring the fluid-borne noise characteristics of pumps and other components
- Methods for reducing noise
- Methods for prediction the fluid-borne characteristics of hydraulic circuits

Suitability - Who should attend?
Our course is for professional engineers, hydraulic system designers, and specialists concerned with noise problems. You should be familiar with hydraulic systems and possess good mathematical knowledge.
Outcome / Qualification etc.
When you complete the course, you should:
- Understand the problems associated with noise in hydraulic systems
- Be familiar with common noise terms, interpret noise measurements, and know how to represent the results in different ways
- Be able to analyse the causes for fluid borne noise, and take corrective action
- Understand the behaviour of waves in a pipe both mathematically and qualitatively
- Appreciate the effect of cavitation
- Use flow-impedance modelling (FIM) for predicting the pressure and flow ripple in hydraulic systems
- Be familiar with the secondary Source method for measuring pump fluid-borne noise characteristics.
