VT-3 - Atmospheric Vent Silencer for Very High Attenuation of High Frequency Noise – Expected Attenuation is 50 to 55 dBA

Use for the highest degree of silencing of high frequency noise associated with steam or gas vents. The VT-3 provides the maximum noise reduction that can be practically obtained.

Use for excellent silencing of high frequency noise associated with steam or gas vents. The VT-2 is shorter and more economical than the VT-3.

Use for impressive silencing of high frequency noise associated with steam or gas vents. The VT-1 has a very high performance to cost ratio. Installation of the VT-1 on a high pressure safety valve discharge will satisfy any concerns regarding worker safety or OSHA noise compliance.

For relatively small vent applications, the VT-S offers impressive silencing of the noise associated with steam or gas vents. The VT-S has a very high performance to cost ratio.
