ISO15665:2003 defines the acoustic performance of three classes (classes A, B and C) of pipe insulation. It also specifies three types of construction that will meet these acoustic performance classes. Furthermore, it defines a standardized test method for measuring the acoustic performance of any type of construction, thereby allowing existing and new insulation constructions to be rated against the three classes.
ISO 15665:2003 is applicable to the acoustic insulation of cylindrical steel pipes and to their piping components. It is valid for pipes up to 1 m in diameter and a minimum wall thickness of 4,2 mm for diameters below 300 mm, and 6,3 mm for diameters from 300 mm and above. It is not applicable to the acoustic insulation of rectangular ducting and vessels or machinery.
ISO 15665:2003 covers both design and installation aspects of acoustic insulation and provides guidance to assist noise control engineers in determining the required class and extent of insulation needed for a particular application. It gives typical examples of construction methods, but the examples are for information only and not meant to be prescriptive.

Noise control in industrial facilities is a common concern. Large, loud machinery commonly found operating in industrial facilities can make it difficult to meet the occupational noise exposure limitations and recommendations established by OSHA, NIOSH and state agencies. Since each facility is responsible for ensuring OSHA compliance and auditory safety at their own facility, it is critical to understand how to effectively utilize insulation to mitigate unwanted noise. This is why the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) developed a standard that measures the acoustical performance of insulation and jacketing systems, ISO 15665.
ISO 15665 is an international standard that defines a test method for measuring the acoustical performance of installed and jacketed pipe insulation systems. The standard measures insertion loss for various configurations of insulation and jacketing on pipe systems. System designers need to keep in mind that ISO 15665 applies only to pipe systems; it does not apply to rectangular ducts or equipment.
A fourth, even more stringent Class, Class D, was created by a major petrochemical company to help ensure the insulation systems they install at their facilities meet their highly stringent acoustical control requirements. Class D is the most difficult Class for an insulation/jacketing configuration to meet.
Each Class has three subclasses (1, 2, and 3) that represent pipe size categories. These read as Class A1, Class A2, Class A3, etc. The subclasses help system designers determine how well an insulation/jacketing configuration will control noise on a specific pipe size. This allows them to specify a particular configuration for the unique requirements of the pipe size in their applications.
The larger the pipe size, the more difficult it is to pass the ISO 15665 test. As a result, configurations that meet the Category 3 tend to have more robust insulation and jacketing configurations than what is required for Categories 1 and 2.
In order to receive a Class rating, ISO 15665 establishes a specific set of insertion loss requirements the system configuration must meet at specified octave bands. The larger the pipe size, the more difficult it is to meet the insertion loss requirements of ISO 15665. The table below outlines the minimum insertion loss requirements of the ISO 15665 standard for each Class and pipe size.
In many cases (at many frequencies), a configuration that meets a higher Class will also meet the Classes preceding it (e.g.: A Class C3 configuration often also meets Class A and Class B requirements). This is not always the case, however, so system designers should carefully consider both the ISO 15665 requirements as well as the performance of the unique system they specify before making an extrapolation down in pipe size or class.

Standards: ASTM E1222: Standard Test Method for Laboratory Measurement of the Insertion Loss of Pipe Lagging Systems and ISO 15665: Acoustics - Acoustic insulation for pipes, valves and flanges.
Certification Required: Acoustical certification is currently not required by building codes. However, insertion loss data is usually required in order reduce noise levels generated by mechanical systems in buildings.
Scope: This test method covers the measurement of the insertion loss of pipe lagging systems under laboratory conditions. The International Standard defines the acoustic performance of three classes (Classes A, B and C) of pipe insulation. It also specifies three types of construction that will meet these acoustic performance classes. Furthermore, the International Standard defines a standardized test method for measuring the acoustic performance of any type of construction, thereby allowing existing and new insulation constructions to be rated against the three classes.
End Result: The test report will include the average sound pressure levels measured with sound radiating from the bare pipe and lagged pipe, average sound pressure levels measured with the reference sound source for both the bare and lagged pipe, and the insertion loss (IL or Dw) from 50 to 10,000 Hertz.
In 15665 train route maximum halt time for this train is 5:00 minutes at CHAPARMUKH JN(CPK). Train 15665 arrives at CHAPARMUKH JN at 15:55 and departs at 16:00. So if you want to get down from the train and buy anything from the station or for little fresh air. It's safe to get down at this station.
