Its no secret that Petrochemical plants are high-risk environments. Places where gas leaks can lead to serious safety hazards, environmental damage and operational losses. In recent times, to detect these leaks, traditional methods such as soap and bubble tests or handheld sniffers have been used. There is however, a problem…

Sound is everywhere, from the rustle of leaves, to the bustle of a motorway, you are always exposed to sound. That’s why we’re on a mission to find out where loud is too loud. We will be traipsing across the UK to find the noisiest (and sometimes the quietest) locations…

When it comes to building acoustics, precision is key. Whether you are conducting an airborne or impact test, it is important that you have the correct equipment that all works together seamlessly giving you the results as quick as possible. Airborne noise is sound that travels through the air, such…

When it comes to noise monitoring, Svantek have a wide range of top-level equipment, from the smallest class 1 sound level meter, from the SV 971A, to the advanced sound level meter that is the SV 977, to the sleek and reliable SV 307A. However, in Autumn of 2024, a…

Particle Velocity vs Sound Pressure, which one is best to use? When dealing in the field of NVH, we know that accurate sound measurement is crucial. Two ways of measuring this sound is particle velocity and sound pressure, these 2 methods both offer distinct insights into sound behaviour. Understanding their…

IMMI is a cutting-edge software designed to predict noise levels, model air pollutant dispersion and manage emission control. This can range from the simple emission prognosis in case of questions regarding neighbourhood noise up to noise mapping for entire countries. This software has been developing and growing for over 30…

Composite moulding is a go-to manufacturing process for industries needing strong, lightweight materials. But when it comes to quality control, even tiny issues—like air leaks during the curing process—can compromise the final product. And this can have drastic effects, from lost revenue to damaged products going out to customers. This…

For years, gas leak detection has been conducted through 2 main methods. The first is chemical sensors. This is the method of using equipment that interacts with the gas molecules they’re designed to detect, often resulting in a chemical reaction or a measurable change in electrical properties. While this is…

The SV 303 has recently been released by Svantek. This adds to the already powerful ecosystem of industry leading noise and vibration monitors as well as the ground-breaking apps and programs that support these. The SV 303 is a Class 1 noise monitor designed for accurate and real-time noise measurement…

The Seven Bel Sound Scanner is a particularly unique acoustic camera, with it’s cutting-edge technology, compact design, and cloud-based processing, this device is reshaping how you’ll be able to visualise and manage challenges in sound. A Shift in Acoustic Imaging Acoustic cameras have been an option for detecting sound problems…

When it comes to occupational health and safety (OHS), monitoring workplace noise is essential for protecting employees’ hearing and ensuring compliance with regulations. We know that selecting the right sound level meter makes all the difference in terms of accuracy, efficiency, and suitability for different environments. Two of Svantek UKs…

It is known fact environmental measurements of noise, vibration and air quality usually get left until last on construction sites. Its either an afterthought or simply forgotten. This can be an extremely stressful time for project managers and acoustics consultants as they need to act quickly to get monitoring in…
