Cement slurry is one of the most challenging fluids to measure.
It's abrasive, conductive, and unforgiving to ordinary flow meters.
Particles wear down electrodes. Signals become unstable. Accuracy drifts.
And before you know it, you're replacing equipment or recalibrating weekly.
We recently worked with a client who faced exactly this problem.
Their fluid was cement slurry at ambient temperature, operating at 1.6 MPa pressure
with a flow range of 0.8 to 3 m³/h.
They needed ±0.5% accuracy, DC24V power supply,
both 4-20mA and RS485 communication, IP65 enclosure protection, and flange connections.
A local display with a high-frequency converter was also required.
After evaluating the conditions, we recommended our
CX-EMFM-32-CS-L2-EN-N-A-I-65 electromagnetic flow meter.
And it delivered.
Here is why this specific model was the perfect fit for this application.
The F46 liner provides exceptional resistance to abrasion and chemical attack—
essential when dealing with cement slurry that would quickly wear down
rubber or PTFE liners.
The stainless steel body with tungsten carbide electrodes
stands up to continuous particle impact without degrading or losing sensitivity.
This combination ensures long-term reliability in harsh environments
where other meters fail within months.
The high-frequency converter ensures stable, responsive readings
even with low-conductivity fluids or electrically noisy backgrounds.
That means consistent ±0.5% accuracy across the entire flow range
of 0.8 to 3 m³/h—no signal drift, no erratic readings.
The IP65-rated enclosure keeps moisture, dust, and splashing water out,
making the meter suitable for demanding field installations.
The flange connections provide secure, leak-free integration
into existing piping systems,
while the integrated local display allows operators
to read flow data directly at the site without needing external devices.
Power and communication were also fully covered.
The DC24V supply matched the client's existing control system perfectly.
The 4-20mA analog output provides real-time flow data to the PLC,
while the RS485 digital communication enables remote monitoring,
configuration, and data logging—
offering full flexibility for both local and centralized control.
The result? A flow meter that works reliably, shift after shift,
without constant maintenance or recalibration.
The client now has accurate, repeatable flow data they can trust,
and their process runs smoothly without unexpected downtime.
This wasn't a lab test.
It was a real installation solving a real problem on-site.
If your application involves cement slurry, abrasive fluids,
or any challenging conductive liquid with demanding pressure,
electrical, and accuracy requirements, we have been there before.
We know what works and what doesn't.
