Transmission mains and major industrial feeders need high-accuracy flow data, often at unmanned sites too far for cabling. The premium YF-C8 provides that accuracy on very large pipes and supports remote data return via an optional GPRS DTU.
The challenge
- Critical large mains require the best available accuracy.
- Sites are unmanned and lack data cabling.
- Diameters can reach DN5000.
- Operators need continuous remote visibility.
The solution: YF-C8
The YF-C8 is the premium fixed transit-time meter, offering ±0.5% accuracy, an extended pipe range and optional GPRS data. See the YF-C8 specifications →
- DN25-DN5000 range for transmission mains.
- ±0.5% accuracy and 0.15% repeatability.
- RS485 Modbus RTU plus optional GPRS DTU.
- 4-20 mA analog and OCT/relay outputs.
- 24 VDC fixed-mount converter.
Configuration used in this application
| Meter | YF-C8 premium fixed transit-time |
|---|---|
| Pipe size | DN25-DN5000 (1″-200″) |
| Accuracy | ±0.5% (0.5-5.0 m/s) |
| Repeatability | 0.15% |
| Power supply | 24 VDC @ 5 W |
| Analog output | 4-20 mA, max load 600 Ω |
| Communication | RS485, Modbus RTU; optional GPRS DTU |
| Alarm / relay | OCT pulse & alarm; relay |
How it is deployed
- Select a stable straight section on the large main.
- Install matched transducers and the fixed converter, confirming a strong signal.
- Connect Modbus locally and add the GPRS DTU where remote access is needed.
- Validate readings and configure remote interval reporting and alarms.
What the operator gets
- High-accuracy measurement on critical mains.
- Remote visibility from unmanned sites.
- Coverage to DN5000 with one premium platform.
- Reliable data for balance, reporting and leak detection.
