Yes, an electromagnetic flow meter is well suited for corrosive and abrasive media, provided that the correct liner and electrode materials are selected.
Why it is suitable ?
No moving parts: eliminates mechanical wear and pressure loss.
Full-bore design: solids and particles pass through without obstruction.
Material selection considerations
Liners (wetted parts) ?
PTFE / PFA – strong corrosion resistance (acids, alkalis, chemicals)
Rubber / Polyurethane – good abrasion resistance (slurry, wastewater)
Electrodes:
Stainless steel – general applications
Hastelloy, Titanium, Tantalum – highly corrosive media
Tungsten carbide – highly abrasive media
Typical applications
Chemical processing
Mining slurry and tailings
Pulp and paper
Wastewater and sewage
Acid and alkali transfer systems
