YF-S201 Water Flow Sensor 1-30L/min 1.75MPa 0.5inch
Price in Sri Lanka

The YF-S201 Water Flow Sensor is a reliable and widely used flow measurement device designed to monitor the rate and volume of water flow in pipes. It operates using a Hall effect sensor and internal rotor, generating pulse signals proportional to the flow rate.

With a flow range of 1–30 liters per minute and support for up to 1.75MPa pressure, this sensor is ideal for water management systems, automation projects, and IoT applications. Its 0.5-inch (½”) threaded connection allows easy inline installation in standard piping systems.
