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.

“Yea, worse than death: death parts both woe and joy:
From joy I part, still living in annoy.”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
“Well then! Wagner was a revolutionary—he fled the Germans.... As an artist one has no home in Europe outside Paris: the délicatesse in all five artistic senses that is presupposed by Wagner’s art, the fingers for nuances, the psychological morbidity are found only in Paris. Nowhere else is this passion in questions of form to be found, this seriousness in mise en scène—which is Parisian seriousness par excellence.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
