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 figuresEven 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"

The answer, to high frequency low volumetric pulsation, for clean liquids.

The WAVEGUARD, Ball path Disperser
By causing the pressure waves to travel down many paths of different length, the timebase of a transient peak is spread, and so its height is removed.

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 = 3.0
A vane pump with 23 vanes, driven at 2,900 rpm, pumps 380 barrels per day
40 Liters x 1000 cm3 per Liter / 23 vanes x 2900 rpm = 0.6 ml displacement@ 111 Hz.
