Aviation

ANV Measurement Systems and or partners Rion and Norsonic have been involved in most, if not all aspects of noise and vibration measurements in the aviation sector. 

Rion have a unique aircraft noise monitoring system, based on the Rion NA-39, which differentiates specific aircraft noise events (take offs, landings, over-flights and ground noise) from the arrival direction of the sound. This is particularly useful when there is no access to the airport’s radar data. Rion’s system can, of course, be integrated with the airport’s radar data and can also incorporate an SSR receiver to further verify the aircraft noise events.

Norsonic’s Noise Monitoring Terminals have been integrated into many airports’ noise monitoring systems, integrating with the airports’ systems and radar data. 

Aviation noise measurements can, of course, be carried out with more general noise monitoring systems such as a Live Leq system which gives real time access to audio and data. 

Even simpler still, the Rion NL-53 or the Norsonic 145 can both store large amounts of data and audio for subsequent analysis.

Occupational noise exposure is, of course, a concern in the aviation industry and ANV Measurement Systems can provide excellent measurement solutions for this. In particular the Rion NL-28 sound level meter and NB-14 dosimeters provide the instrumentation necessary to measure the noise levels affecting staff. 

Vibration measurements are an integral part of aircraft maintenance regimes. The Rion VA-12 is uniquely well-suited to this task. The Rion VA-12 is a portable instrument with an excellent colour screen visible in all lighting conditions and a separate robust sensor supplied with a really practical coiled lead. Despite having powerful features, such as a 3200 line FFT, it is really easy to use.
