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 engineer or operate such a system, they tend to repeat the same mistakes others have made over and over again by 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 in avoidance of some of those mistakes. Although definitions can be boring, a few should be covered that will help the student be sure they understand the fluid properties unique to Dense Phase Fluids and eventually clarify the reasons for the special handling requirements for these fluids. Dense Phase Fluids, often referred to as Supercritical Fluids, are simply those fluids that are above the Critical Point on their phase diagram at operating conditions.
