We study the effect of momentum correlations on the properties of light and medium mass fragments by imposing the momentum cut in clustering the phase space. The rapidity distributions, dN/ptdpt spectra, and ratio of transverse to longitudinal energy (Erat) for the reactions of 12C+12C and 40Ca+40Ca are analyzed. We have found a significant influence of the momentum cut on these properties of the fragments. The results of our calculations are compared with experimental data.
