Can a mass flow meter measure slurry media?

Thread Content

Can a mass flow meter measure slurry media? I’m not familiar with mass flow meters; I suppose there shouldn’t be any problems with liquids. But can such meters be used to measure fluids that are in a slurry form with a high solid content? I would appreciate some guidance from those experienced with instruments~{:3_50:}

It should be possible, as long as the particle size of the slurry isn’t too large. If the particles in the slurry are likely to settle, then choose to install the U-tube with its opening facing downward or mount it on a vertical pipe, in order to prevent the pipes from becoming blocked by the settlement of particles when there is no flow of material.

There’s no problem at all, but the slurry should not have excessive flocculation, as this can affect the density and thus the flow rate

You need to ask the mass flow meter manufacturer!

Use electromagnetic measurement more for the slurry

It’s a shame; the particle size is quite large, and the solid content is also very high

I guess there’s a problem with me. . . It is said that the density of that slurry is not very uniform. . . .

I’m not from an instrumentation field, so I don’t understand it

I’m not familiar with these flowmeters; is there any manual that can help me understand the characteristics of various flowmeters? Please ask an expert to tell me~
