Flow meter errors in pulsating flowView Webinar Description Flow meters are essential components in process installations. Accurate flow measurement is required to ensure stability of process but also for fiscal metering of valuable gas products. In pulsating conditions, flow meters may be significantly disturbed. This leads to inaccurate reading, or even systematic offsets. Unsteady flow…
