Bespoke flow meter specification, supply, and installation for complex industrial applications, including high-solids, abrasive media, dredging, and trade waste. We get it right the first time.
Industrial flow measurement is where application knowledge matters most. High-solids slurries, chemically aggressive media, abrasive flows, extreme temperatures, and challenging installation environments all require careful instrument selection, appropriate materials, and correct installation practice. Choose the wrong meter for the application and you're looking at rapid wear, inaccurate data, or a system that doesn't survive its first season.
NZ Flow Group specifies and supplies flow measurement solutions for industrial applications across New Zealand, drawing on hands-on experience with dredging, marine, water treatment, food processing, and trade waste applications. We match the instrument to the process, not the other way around.
NZ Flow Group has specified flow and density measurement systems for cutter suction dredge operations in marine environments, including high-abrasion slurry at 30–60% solids by weight in seawater service on DN200 pipework.
Applications like these require electromagnetic magmeters rated for abrasive media. We work through the full specification, materials, liner selection, flange ratings, signal processing, and compliance with NZ regulatory requirements.
Under the Radiation Safety Act 2016, nuclear density measurement devices require WorkSafe NZ licensing, ongoing regulatory compliance, and specialist handling. For most industrial applications in New Zealand, non-nuclear ultrasonic slurry density meters are a practical and cost-effective alternative, and our preferred recommendation for new installations.
We work through the application before we recommend a product. For industrial projects, that process matters.
We start with the process conditions, fluid type, solids content, temperature, pressure, pipe size, flow range, and installation constraints. Getting these right determines everything that follows.
We recommend the most appropriate meter technology and manufacturer for the application, and document our reasoning. For industrial applications, we produce a formal purchase specification you can use for vendor tendering.
We source from our preferred vendor network, including Krohne, Endress+Hauser, Siemens, ABB, and Yokogawa, and carry out installation with NZ MechTech handling any pipework and fabrication work.
We commission on-site, confirm performance against specification, and hand over full documentation including installation records and compliance certificates where required.
For industrial applications, we specify and supply from an established network of proven manufacturers, selected for performance in demanding conditions, not just price.
