1) Do we have a only option of Coriolis meter for density measurement?


2) which is the best suitable flow meter for slurry applications?
 
1) Coriolis meters give you a density output because there is a densitomoter in the flowmeter package. You can also purchase a densitometer separately if you wish.
 
May consult with vendors of either mag flow meter or ultrasonic flow meter, which are no obstruction of flow path and suitable for the slurry application.
 
What slurry are you measuring?

And how important is accuracy? Using a Coriolis for non custody transfer seems excessive.
 
Cost aside, I prefer to use the best available technology to perform any type of measurement function. If I needed an accurate flowmeter and also density measurement, I would specify a coriolis meter. You would have to contact a vendor to match it's suitability for slurry, particularly if you are transferring abrasives. I do not know of any other flow measurement technology that will also deliver density measurement.

It's all okay as long as it's okay.
