Sound Attenuation

Precision AirConvey's inline sound attenuation devices have been documented to reduce sound pressure levels without sound attenuation from 95.5 dBA to 79.8 dBA when installed near the face—where most of the sound in a pneumatic conveying system is generated. The 16.4 percent reduction supports compliance with 29 CFR 1910.95.
