Abstract: The foremost concern of all operating companies is revenue, Cash flow is generated by accurate measurement and heating value determination. Accuracy can only be achieved by using the latest technology and methods of measurement and sampling. This paper will briefly discuss the cause and effect of pulsation and turbulence in measurement operations. Pulsation is described as a variation in flow or pressure in a fluid that travels at a speed equal to the velocity of sound in that medium. The velocity of the pressure wave is independent of the velocity of the fluid in the line. Pulsation occurs at a uniform frequency rate. This rate is measured in hertz or cycles per second. The amount of pulsation is referred to as the amplitude or the difference between the high and low peaks. The amplitude affects both the static and differential pressure sensing devices in a measurement system.
