Abstract: Many people in the industry, including probably most measurement specialists, have no experience with the measurement of dense phase fluids (if you dont count water). When the un-initiated are asked to develop or operate such a system, they tend to repeat the same mistakes others have made over and over due to trying to treat the streams like natural gas liquids or liquefied petroleum gases (NGLs or LPGs). Hopefully, this paper will assist the un-initiated reader avoid some of those mistakes. Although definitions can be boring, I would like to cover a few that will help the student be sure they understand the fluid properties unique to dense phase fluids and eventually clarify the unique handling these fluids require. Dense Phase Fluids, often referred to as supercritical fluids, by definition, are simply those fluids that are above their critical point at operating conditions
