Two-phase slurry flow is encountered in many industries such as petroleum, mining and related industries. The abrasiveness of slurry and interaction of solid particles with the carrier liquid make slurry flow measurement one of the most challenging applications in multi-phase flow metering. This paper presents a new method of solid-liquid flow metering, in which the Electrical Resistance Tomography (ERT) is used in combination with a commercial Electromagnetic Flow Meter (EMF) to measure the volumetric flow rate of each phase. A set of experiments were carried out using a mixture of sand particles and tap water as slurry. Two different sand types (coarse and medium), with a particle size range of 53-2330μm, were pumped through a 50mm inner-diameter pipeline. The range of throughput solids concentration used in the experiments was 5%-10% and operated the transport velocity was 2-5 m/s. The effect of solids concentration and solids velocity on the measurement scheme is discussed. The measurement results are compared to that of Coriolis mass flow meter and discharge flow measurement system (flow diversion system). The accuracy of the measurement results is assessed and the performance of the applicability of the proposed method is highlighted
