Application
The control of noise in industry is very important. There have been sharp increases in worker compensation claims for hearing damage, and legislative, safety and economic requirements make a noise reduction program essential for many industries.
To meet these requirements and to help solve many in-plant noise problems, Kinetics Noise Control manufactures a complete line of acoustical panels which can be quickly and easily assembled to provide complete or partial enclosures for noisy equipment or to provide a quiet office in a manufacturing area. These panels are designed to provide optimum noise control through sound absorption and sound transmission loss. Enclosures can be sized to meet your requirements.
Standard Kinetics Noiseblock STL panels are fabricated with outer skins of 18 gauge galvanized steel and inner skins of 22 gauge perforated galvanized steel. Panels are stiffened with 18 gauge steel channels. Sound absorption is provided by 2.5 to 6 pcf fiberglass or mineral wool depending on the application. Standard panels are nominally 4" thick, but optional 2" and 6" panels are available to meet special requirements. 2" panels are rated at STC 37 and NRC .95, 4" panels are rated at STC 40 and NRC 1.00.
Kinetics Noiseblock HTL panels are designed for applications where more transmission loss is required. The HTL panels are fabricated of a 16 gauge outer skin, a 22 gauge perforated inner skin, 18 gauge stiffener channels and a high mass septum. The 4" thick HTL panels have an STC of 48 and a NRC of 1.00.
Enclosures can be designed with doors, windows, access panels and removable panels. Doors are equipped with heavy-duty hardware and with seals to prevent noise leakage. Window panels are framed and sealed units utilizing 1/4" safety and/or wire reinforced glass. If constant access to the equipment is needed, removable panels can be incorporated in the enclosure design.
HVAC Installations
The control of noise in modern buildings due to air-conditioning is a normal procedure in most projects. Kinetics designs and manufactures a complete line of pressure enclosures for Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning installations. Our panel enclosures are designed to be erected in the field. They are designed to provide thermal and optimum noise control through sound absorption and sound transmission loss.
Industrial Installations
Claims for hearing damage, safety and economic requirements make a noise reduction program essential for many industries. In the past, many manufacturing facilities were regulated by a government agency such as OSHA, but today the vast majority of noise regulation is driven by insurance companies who seek to keep claims for hearing damage to a minimum for the facilities they insure.
