Combating Errors Induced By Pulsating Flow in Flowmeter Measurement
Flowmeters are well known to be sensitive to effects like pulsating flow, which can cause errors in flow measurement. In a pulsating flow system, the velocity profile of the flow undergoes a dramatic change during each cycle of pulsation compared to even flow conditions.

Therefore, the key source of potential error in electronically sampling flow meters, like ultrasonic devices, is the sampling rate and how it will sense the real flow that passes through it.
How can Errors Generated by the Effects of Pulsating Flow be Minimized During Sampling?
Will digital audio ever outperform analog?
Since the age of CDs, debate has raged among listens over whether digital music could ever measure up to the quality of its analog predecessor. Here, we break down some of the technical realities behind both mediums to assess the reality of the situation.

Ever since the advent of the compact disc, and the widespread consumer access to digital audio that it brought, people have debated over whether or not digital audio could ever adequately replace its analog predecessors.
As downloadable and streaming digital formats have increased in prevalence and complexity, the discussion has only amplified, with many diehard analog “purists” decrying the loss of musical soul they feel is notably missing in modern digital audio formats.
