Low Pressure Medium Frequency Lobe Pump Pipes
Can need pulsation dampening.
When running on liquids containing particulate, a low to medium frequency pressure disturbance occurs.

Make a note of this pump's F number, also known as its Flow Fluctuation Figure. Use the F number with the % residual fluctuation required figure from the smoothness shown for each type of application. These two figures, the F figure and the % figure, applied to the size selection formula give you the smallest practicable damper size.
See below for figures

Even these, THE SMOOTHEST of all POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT PUMPS have pressure disturbances, which are normally not important, but when they are connected to piping systems that were not designed, will cause pulsation

The source of the disturbance, that is magnified into pulsation by poor, or no pipe design is, from "X"
Pulsation dampeners with no moving parts, and no foam to degrade or clog
The answer to, low pressure & low volumetric pulsation with particulate systems.	The WAVEGUARD, Volume Sphere The volume of slightly compressible liquid kill the pulsation.

Find the "F" Valve of Your Pump - "F" is a correction Factor on the square of number of displacers.
Example, Centrifugals are intrinsically good - have a high F, Sandwich diaphragm metering pumps have a low F.

F = 1.0

A tri-lobe pump at 173 rmp, discharges 3 tons per hour 100 lbs per minute x 25 in3 per pound / 3 lobes per rev x 173 rpm = 4.8 in3 per lobe

@ 8.7 Hz.

Selecting Pulsation Dampeners for Different Pump Systems.
Flow through pulsation dampers are at least 3 times more efficient than T off line accumulators.
Dampeners that do, flow goes through, but pressure pulsation does not.
