Effects & Control of Pulsation in Gas Measurement
Pulsation created by compressors, flow control valves, regulators and some piping configurations are known to cause significant errors in gas measurement. This paper will concentrate on methods to determine Square Root Error, Gauge Line Error, and suggest several techniques to reduce these effects on natural gas measurement.
