Apex Flow Meter: Sourcing High Precision Industrial Process Transducers
Quick Answer: The Apex flow meter series from Silver Automation Instruments covers high precision industrial process transducers for liquid, gas, and steam measurement. Most models hold accuracy from ±0.1% to ±0.5% of rate and provide 4-20 mA HART or Modbus outputs. Send your pipe size, flow range, temperature, and pressure to get a matched model and price within one business day.
Process engineers and instrument buyers need repeatable flow data in tough industrial lines. Silver Automation Instruments is a flow meter manufacturer, not a trading company. We supply the Apex flow meter range to plants in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa. We focus on the technical match: wetted material, accuracy, and the right output for your control loop.
What the Apex Flow Meter Series Covers
The Apex flow meter series covers six meter types: Coriolis mass flow, electromagnetic, ultrasonic, vortex, oval gear, and thermal mass. That spans clean water, wastewater, crude oil, diesel, edible oil, syrups, chemicals, compressed air, biogas, and steam. Each Apex flow meter is configured as a high precision industrial process transducer, not just a local display unit.
Key Specifications That Matter in the Field
The Apex CMF-S Coriolis model is rated at ±0.1% of rate for mass flow and ±0.5 kg/m³ for density. The Apex EMF-R electromagnetic meter reaches ±0.5% of rate on conductive liquids from 1 µS/cm. The Apex VSF vortex meter gives ±1.0% of rate on liquids and ±1.5% of rate on gas or steam.
The transmitter outputs 4-20 mA HART, RS485 Modbus RTU, pulse, or frequency. Power supply is 24 V DC standard, with 220 V AC optional for electromagnetic and Coriolis models. Process connections come in ANSI 150, ANSI 300, DIN PN16, DIN PN40, or Tri-Clamp for food and beverage lines. Temperature ratings range from -40 °C to 200 °C on Coriolis and up to 350 °C on vortex with a pressure-compensated transmitter.
Matching Apex Flow Meter Models to Real Applications
A paint manufacturer in Vietnam needed to measure solvent mass flow into a batch reactor. The pipe size was DN15. The flow range was 0 to 300 kg/h. We supplied an Apex CMF-S with 316L stainless steel wetted parts and 4-20 mA HART. The plant now reads mass flow and density on the same transmitter.
A food plant in Indonesia asked for a meter on a glucose syrup line at 60 °C. The Apex CMF-S with Tri-Clamp connections reads mass flow and density on the same transmitter. The production team uses the density value to check the Brix concentration.
A water treatment plant in Malaysia replaced a defective inline meter on a DN300 raw water line. We supplied the Apex EMF-R electromagnetic flow meter with a PTFE liner and 316L stainless steel electrodes. The transmitter is IP68 rated because the meter sits in a buried pit. The transmitter sends flow data to a SCADA system over Modbus RTU.
A desalination plant in Oman asked us for a seawater flow meter for desalination plant brine lines. The pipe was DN150. The Apex EMF-R used Hastelloy C22 electr

For marine fuel transfer in Singapore, an oval gear meter on a bunker skid failed after six months. We replaced it with the Apex OGM DN40. The flow range is 0.5 to 20 m³/h. The meter runs at 6 cP viscosity and holds ±0.5% of rate. The local contractor installed it in one afternoon.
Sizing Details That Speed Up Your Quote
We need a few data points to quote an Apex flow meter. Send us the fluid name, flow range, pipe size in DN, operating temperature in °C, operating pressure in bar, and the required output. Also tell us if the line is in a hazardous area. Many Apex flow meter models can be supplied with ATEX Zone 1 approval for gas or dust environments.
Here is the thing. Most engineers skip the viscosity value on oil applications. So we ask for viscosity even on small diesel lines. That one number decides whether an oval gear meter or a Coriolis meter is the better fit. If you do not have the viscosity, send the fluid grade and temperature. We can estimate the viscosity from our application data. We have seen this on customer sites many times: a flow meter is sized by pipe diameter alone. That leads to poor accuracy at low flow rates.
FAQ: Apex Flow Meter and High Precision Industrial Process Transducers
Q: What is the minimum conductive liquid requirement for the Apex EMF-R electromagnetic flow meter?
A: The minimum conductivity is 1 µS/cm. This covers most water, wastewater, acid, caustic, and brine lines. For deionized water or pure solvent, choose a Coriolis model instead.
Q: Can the Apex flow meter handle high temperature steam measurement?
A: Yes. The Apex VSF vortex flow meter can handle process temperatures up to 350 °C. For saturated steam, add pressure compensation and a PT100 temperature sensor. The transmitter provides mass flow calculation over 4-20 mA HART.
Q: Which Apex flow meter is best for diesel fuel custody transfer?
A: The Apex OGM oval gear meter is often the most practical choice for diesel and fuel oil. It works at low flow rates with high viscosity. For custody transfer, request a model with pulse output and a calibration certificate.
Q: Do you support local installation outside China?
A: We ship to over 40 countries. The meter comes with a printed manual, wiring diagram, and remote support by WhatsApp or WeChat. Many local contractors handle the mechanical installation without special tools.
Q: What is the typical lead time for a custom-range Apex flow meter?
A: Standard models ship in 7 to 10 days. Custom wetted materials or special process connections may take 3 to 4 weeks. We confirm the exact lead time before you pay the deposit.
