Why test in an Acoustic Laboratory ?

Noise is now one of the most common sources of nuisance or even pollution. Delivering a product with better acoustic performance will give the business a distinct competitive advantage in the marketplace. Ventac Laboratories can carry out tests on numerous products, materials, structures and applications in a controlled environment to verify acoustic performance. In this way, percise performance data can be collated. With little effort, modifications can be made to the product or application, re-tests carried out, and results compared. Through this process, improvement can be clearly identified and highly progressive design modifications can be made to the product. Once a design has been finalised, field tests can be employed to validate "in situ" applications. Data from both laboratory and field tests can be used to confirm compliance with various statutory regulations.

The Laboratory Facility

Ventac Laboratories is one of the most advanced acoustic laboratories in Europe. It is equipped for original research and development where new designs and existing products from different industries can be tested and verified. Products and applications can be easily modified during test sessions and re-tested. This gives way to cost effective and efficient development work at Ventac Laboratories.

Acoustic performance measurements are carried our in accordance with the relevant IS EN, ISO, BS and ASTM standards.

An increasing number of well-known successful companies are working with Ventac Laboratories using this approach not only to achieve better acousitc performance, but also to improve sound quality thereby developing products with significant added value.
