In Other Parts of Europe
The rest of the English language users tend to use the singular, e.g. "I need a "pulsation damper." Similarly, in Germany, they habitually look for one of an item; but the phrase "pulsationsdämpfer" happens to mean both singular and plural. "Pulsations" plural, is used in both Nordic and Latinate languages (except UK English) because pulsation is by definition a repetitive occurrence. Example: the French "amortisseur de pulsations" is plural. However the devices are typified by having only one liquid connection that goes to a "T" on the system.
