Acoustically Insulated Test Chambers for RKP & Fuel Test Rigs

Test Chambers for a worldwide designer, manufacturer & integrator of precision control
equipment for military & commercial aircraft, satellites, launch & space vehicles, missiles, automated industrial machinery, marine applications and medical equipment.

Scope of Works

To design, manufacture & deliver two Test Chambers, each being of approximate overall sizes 3.7m long x 2.5m wide x 2.7m high, complete with bunded base, safety flooring and drip trays.

Design Considerations

Heavy duty acoustically-insulated Test Chambers constructed as one-piece units with lifting points and to be
fit for purpose in providing a safe working environment for operational personnel.
Extra-wide heavy duty double-sealing single-leaf door for both personnel entry/egress & emergency exit, and
for the installation/removal of equipment on sliding rails. An additional hinged overhead panel gives full height
opening for the removal of larger, heavier equipment by forklift fitted with extension forks & lifting tackle.
Dual-glazed vision panels from toughened and laminated safety glass, with acoustically-lined reveals,
providing a clear view of the test process.
Fully bunded base with drip trays & drain points overlaid with safety grated flooring and non-slip pads.
Attenuated air inlets and outlets designed to meet very low pressure resistance requirements upon
connection to customer’s extraction system, and prevents contamination of factory air by the fluids on test.

Acoustic Performance

The Test Chambers provided up to 30dB noise reduction, bringing external noise levels down to as low as 69dBA, well below the First Exposure Action Level of the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005, and allowing personnel to effectively communicate in a stress-free, comfortable environment.
