Let R be a ring. A right R-module A is said to be C-flat if the kernel of any epimorphism B → A is C-pure in B, i.e. the induced map Hom(C,B) → Hom(C,A) is surjective for any cyclic right R-module C. Projective modules are C-flat and C-flat modules are weakly-flat and neat-flat. In this article, it is discussed the connections between C-flat, weakly-flat, neat-flat and singly flat modules. It is shown that C-flat modules coincide with singly-projective modules over arbitrary rings. Next, several characterizations of certain classes of rings and modules via C-purity are considered. We prove that, every C-flat module is injective if and only if R is a QF ring. Moreover, we show that R is a CF ring if and only if every FP-injective right R-module is C-flat.
