Which effect occurs when using a differential pressure flow meter in pulsating flow?

A)Inaccurate flow rate measurement
B)Cavitation within the sensor
C)Increased meter lifespan prediction
D)Reduced sensitivity resolution attainable

💡 Explanation

Pulsating flow leads to inaccurate flow rate measurement because the Bernoulli equation's assumptions of steady flow are violated, impacting inferred flow rate. Therefore, readings become unreliable rather than reflecting actual average flow because the pressure differential fluctuates rapidly.
