We think you'll find doing business with us is a rewarding experience. Solving Noise Problems Using Kinetics Noise Control Products and Systems Noise is generally defined as unwanted sound. Atypical noise control problem includes three basic components: the noise source (machines, fans, pumps, processes etc.); the receiver (persons subjected to the noise); and the path (the route the noise travels between the source and the receiver indoors or outdoors). Noise exists in two forms: airborne and structure-borne. Airborne noise travels from a source to a receiver as a differential in atmospheric pressure and can travel in all directions. Structure-borne noise is unwanted vibration, which is transmitted from a vibrating source to a receiver through a solid material and regenerated as airborne noise. Once the source, path and receiver have been identified, four tools are used to control the unwanted noise. These tools are: absorption, barriers (blocking), damping and vibration isolation. The representative Kinetics independently tested products used to control these noise types are presented in this brochure. Barriers reduce airborne noise transmission. Barrier effectiveness is dependent on barrier mass, properties associated with stiffness, and the environment or structural surroundings. High-quality Kinetics barriers are fabricated from transparent or opaque limp, mass-loaded vinyl. When placed between the source and the receiver they offer high transmission loss. Mass ranges: 0.5 to 2 PSF, (2.5 to 9.8 kg/cm2). BARRIERS BARRIERS Model KNM Barrier Material Kinetics Model KNM mass-loaded vinyl barrier materials are available in reinforced or unreinforced construction. They are used for enclosing noise sources by draping around equipment, suspending between equipment and quiet areas, or lagging to the equipment casings. KNM barrier materials can be used effectively to lag piping systems, reducing valves, etc., and are highly effective as crosstalk barriers and septums. KNM materials are available in 1/2 psf to 1 psf (2.5 to 4.9 kg/m2), in 54" wide x 20-yard (1372 mm x 18.2 m) rolls, with acoustical ratings of STC-21 to STC-27.

As KNM-100 ALQ it is available with a scrim faced quilted fiberglass decou- pler for direct lagging to process piping and duct- work, STC rating: 28 DAMPING DAMPING Model KDD-3553 Sound Deadener/Damping Sheets Kinetics sound deadeners dampen and eliminate noise caused by vibrating metal surfaces. Typical applications include sheet metal ducts, chutes, bins and hoppers, and machine, motor and transformer housings.

Damping reduces structure-borne noise generated by a vibrating surface by adding mass to the surface. Airborne noise re-generatedby the vibrating surface is also reduced. Kinetics damping products are available in adhesive-backed sheets or in compound form that may be sprayed or troweled directly onto the vibrating surface. Type KDC-E-162 Damping Compound Non-hazardous, cost- effective solution for reducing "ringing" in sheet metal ducts, chutes, bins and metal partitions.
