Industrial plants need reliable, permanent flow measurement on circulating water systems for control and efficiency. The YF-C6 fixed wall-mount meter installs on the outside of operating pipes and continuously delivers flow, totalization and alarms to the control room.
The challenge
- Circulating water lines run continuously and cannot be stopped.
- Permanent monitoring requires standard control integration.
- Operators need alarms for abnormal flow.
- Inline meter replacement would mean costly downtime.
The solution: YF-C6
The YF-C6 is a fixed transit-time meter powered from 24 VDC, with analog, serial and alarm outputs for permanent installation. See the YF-C6 specifications →
- DN25-DN2000 pipe range.
- ±1.0% accuracy, 0.20% repeatability.
- 24 VDC power at about 5 W.
- 4-20 mA analog and RS485 Modbus RTU.
- OCT high/low alarm/pulse and relay output.
Configuration used in this application
| Meter | YF-C6 fixed transit-time |
|---|---|
| Pipe size | DN25-DN2000 (1″-80″) |
| Accuracy | ±1.0% (0.5-5.0 m/s) |
| Flow velocity | 0.1-12.0 m/s |
| Power supply | 24 VDC @ 5 W |
| Analog output | 4-20 mA, max load 600 Ω |
| Communication | RS485, Modbus RTU |
| Alarm / relay | OCT high/low alarm & pulse; relay 30 VDC |
How it is deployed
- Choose a permanent location on a straight circulating-water section.
- Mount the transducers and fixed converter, then verify signal quality.
- Run 24 VDC and connect 4-20 mA/RS485 and the alarm relay.
- Configure flow ranges, totalization and high/low alarms in the control system.
What the operator gets
- Continuous, reliable flow and totalization.
- Direct integration with plant control and alarms.
- No downtime to install and no pressure loss.
- Stable long-term measurement with no wetted wear.
Frequently asked questions
