YOYI YYTM Series · direct gas mass flow without compensation

Direct Gas Mass Flow, No Compensation Needed

The YOYI YYTM series thermal mass flow meter measures gas mass flow directly using the constant-temperature-difference principle. No separate pressure or temperature compensation is required, making it the simplest and most economical way to meter compressed air, natural gas, biogas and flare gas.

Low flow sensitivity
from 0.05 Nm/s
Pressure loss
negligible
Outputs
4-20 mA, pulse, Modbus
Wetted material
316L / Hastelloy
  • ✓Direct mass measurement output in Nm³/h or kg/h without any additional compensation instruments.
  • ✓Very high turndown up to 100:1 — capture both base loads and peak demands.
  • ✓Minimal pressure loss insertion and inline designs that barely disturb your process.
  • ✓Sensitive at low flow resolves velocities down to 0.05 Nm/s for leak-detection programs.

How It Works

Two resistance temperature detectors sit on a probe: one is heated, one measures the gas temperature. The power needed to hold a constant temperature difference between them is a direct measure of how much heat the gas carries away — that is, its mass flow.

Because heat transfer depends on mass, not volume, the meter needs no pressure or temperature compensation. This is why a single insertion probe can meter a DN1000 duct as accurately as an inline meter meters a DN25 pipe.

Why Choose the YYTM Series

  • ✓No compensation hardware save on pressure and temperature transmitters and their wiring.
  • ✓Big-bore capability insertion probes meter ducts up to DN4000 economically.
  • ✓Leak-down insight night-time zero-flow resolution reveals compressed air leaks instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can it measure wet or dirty gas?

Condensation and oil mist coat the sensor. Use the inline version with a filter, or clean the probe periodically; for wet gas a vortex meter is often better.

How often does it need calibration?

Every 2-3 years in clean gas. The sensor is field-replaceable, so no pipe work is required.

Does gas composition affect accuracy?

Yes — specific heat capacity matters. We calibrate per gas; for variable mixtures we supply a composition-correction input.
