- In this project, we will interface YFS201 Hall Effect Water Flow Sensor with Arduino for measuring flow rate and volume of water or any other liquid. This is a very wonderful project that can be used in industry or at home or at water flow measurement applications in water tap, tunnel, river, etc. Water Flow Sensor for Flow Rate & Volume Measurement using Arduino code along with circuit diagram is explained here.
This project can be used to measure liquid flowing through a pipe or container or to create a control system based on the water flow rate or quantity. For example, you could use this while gardening to measure the amount of water used to water your plants, to prevent wastage.

Thank you for the project..
its working thnkyou sooooooo much brother..;;
Thanks for the awesome tutorial. I'm working on a similar project using 5 water flow sensors, I would like to know if I can use Arduino analogRead since Arduino Uno has only 2 interrupt pins.
hi good video, just a question, why You used an analogic input instead a digita, the signal in out from sensor should be digital on/off?
so touching for an excellent video
Thank you very much. For some this may be logical, but for me this helped a lot!
Very cool thanks for the video
Your videos are interesting and good...
Hlw coading kha s kru yrr
brother your all videos are best
Thank you brother for your love support and appreciation 😍

Hi brother I need a help from you ,
I have successfully done this project once but when I do 2 nd time
My LCD does not show any characters it shows only Blocks
What should I do ?
Please help us brother really needed
if i use flow sensor model YF-S401, which part on the coding need to be change?
Hello. I need to know just how to make this sensor to be used for switching on and switching off my submersible pump. Kindly guide me.
sir which sensor we have to use to find the fuel flow?
Sir im currently making a project using a YF-DN40 but i can find any datasheet online. how can i possibly make this work? Thanks in advance
I want to use this sensor to detect the amount of water used (Liters) by a tap/valve in our building's parking can I do that with this sensor and rasp pi? what is the code for raspberry pi?
Very good
Good solution! It is easy to use this flow sensor to work with Arduino.

@@nikhilnaik3791 hii bro
In the video he used 12v can u please tel me the materials which he used please
Hi,
Do you have Product features of YF-S401 model ??
How come your LCD screen says "VOL : 4.24 l/m" ? Isn't volume measured in ltres, and FLOW rate measured in litres per minute? Shouldn't it say flow rate 4.24 l/m? and volume 3.76 litres?
Can we us it as a fuel meter sensor in any bike....plz reply....does it work efficiently
What does the 1000000 means in the frequency formula
Unless a potentiometer is integrated into the circuit, it will be tough to see the text on LCD. It would be great if you can include the same too.
Yes.
10K potentiometer need to be connected at pin 3 of lcd.
Hi, great job, i'm doing the same project but with air , i need to measure air flow rate and air volume using a flow sensor and arduino. does anyone have any idea what kind of air flow sensor can be used, i have to find the right sensor.
I ask for help, I would be very grateful if someone can help.
How to check this sensor feedback via digital multimeter?
And how to we make fake feedback of flow sensor for table testing..?
Hi, I am looking solution for control water flow in different direction, Please share if you have any available ideas on this
this video is really helpful to us to do our project.....Thanks.regrets daniel

Good day, im trying to make the same project but im just making the idea out of my head idk if it possible.
What if i put two pressure water sensor in a pipe on a known distamce, two measure the diiference.. And using energy equation maybe i can compute of the discharge...idk if my math is bad, headloss=change in pressure?
Sir can I use aurdino nano instead of aurdino uno reply please
Does it works with air without sacrifice the precision?
Very good explanation 👍

i want to make a petrol volume reader that can help ppl measure petrol filledd on petrol pumps...plz suggest
hi!! very interesting project! question: can I connect 21 flow meters using only one Arduino R3 board? Can I check individual flow of each flowmeter in the display? thanks
Please answer, can it be used for petrol, and how small amount of fluid can be measured...
hi sir,
i try this and got output but one problem occurs , once restart or switch off and On that time tantalizer value automatically reset, kindly suggest how to over come that.
Good job

I need a water flow on/off switch to switch on a water pump when it senses water flow in the pipe line. Please advise what I should buy and is it available on amazon?
Same here, my problem is that the water is weak not high pressure
Could this go well?
I don't know
HEllo Sir where did you get 7.5 in computing WATER?
Please
Suggest a solution(share a valuable video) for Electromagnetic flow meter to measure flow rate and total flow..
This project comes under the iot technology?
Seems to me to be an elaborate way of doing the job. Wouldn't it make more sense to use a fourteen bit binary counter and save on interrupt calls? The core of this device is actually liters per pulse !!!. Therefore you would have automatic quantity measurement. Timer interrupts can give flow rate measurements if required.
Can we measure the volume of air with same circuit
it''s can use for measure air flow or no?
Hey. I used this programm with some additions. But the total volume passed is much more than the actual. It appear total depen on how fast the water is passed. if the rate goes faster than the total gets much more than actual volume
I also noticed this in your demonstration. You are holding a bottle of not much tha 1 litre and before you had passed half the water the meter was showing total 3.(something) l reading. I think it needs calliberation
Could I use this kind of setup for measuring average air flow in litres per minute? Would this sensor work with gas or is it specifically just for liquid? Thanks
Not at all. This is designed specially for water. If you want to measure air flow rate then go with annemometer.
@@HowtoElectronics Thanks for your response. I'm attempting to measure the flow rate of a vacuum pump in real time. I wondered if there is a sensor or device that could be installed between two 8mm PVC pipes that would measure the air flow and display the average in L/min on an LCD screen. Is there a sensor of similar size and mechanics as this one that is designed for air?
@@connordickson6332 Did you completed the project, actually i wanted to achieve the same as you said, if you have done please comment
When I put the code into the computer I get a \342 error and I'm not sure why. Any ideas?
how to make this flow sensor compatible with PLC
plz answer bro
In arduino IDE i am getting error as "the selected port does not exist or your board is not connected .."
Sir how can we use it in real time.. I like to use this for petrol tank .. can I use it ???
Hi, im doing the similar project. My problem is the sensor doesn't show any reading at all the water flow slow/small. i've been looking on the internet, all the suggestions lead to change sensor model. If i need to change the model which spec should i look into? Is the impeller size in the sensor effect the reading? my current water flow sensor model is SEN-HZ321WA.
@Muhammad Zar: Some flow meter's hall sensor require an additional pullup resistor ( mostly 2K2 ). I had mine up and running reliably with a TTL circuit hooked up between my flow meter and the Arduino.
When I pasted the code into the Arduino, I got an error in lines 17 and 19 , lcd.print How do I correct it?
Does it measurw the current ?
Can i control the water flow by using any command or knob??
Thank you far the beautifol musik
jaja, yet I would say it was a good tutorial
hello bro
i wanted to control the flow rate as 5ml/sec. then how can i dot it ??
if a water flow sensor gives volume per time....how comes you get the amount of volume??
Plzzz make water ATM using arduino
Does it work with dense liquid
Frequency/7.5 for water, how about vegetable oil. Its same formula for the liquid?
What should i do to make this Bi Directional? Use a second waterflow detector?
Can water volume be measured when water is still
excellent tutorial, but music louder than voice
hey i wanted to check if there is water in intake of piston pump so which sensor should i choose.?
Water sensor, liquid sensor etc.
Hi, I would need this sensor to implement in our cow farm. While delivering milk to customers, I need only .5 lt to flow down and the flow should stop automatically. They we shall open the tap fitted in the container again to flow another .5 lt....can you tell me whether this could be possible by you?
This type of flow sensor are not too accurate. I suggest you not to use for this commercial purposes.
Sir please give links for software and program to use in to download
can you tell using node mcu
Does it works on arduino nano?
What if we want calculate bidirectional of water flow
If interviewer ask like this which technology is used in this project? Then how can I answer?
Can u make cvu gas staion
hy bro ?
how will you help me on my project look like that one?

Bro I need flow sensor library for proteus
Hi I have bought a similar YFS201 sensor but want a simple flashing light to indicate that I left the swimming pool tap/faucet on that I use for refilling and pump priming. Some times I forget to turn it off overnight and get a very big water bill. Could I use a grove Differential Amplifier to boost the signal to a sufficient level that I could connect a joule thief to in order to power a few red leds to remind me that the tap/faucet is still on?
Waaaaaaaay easier to buy a light timer off Amazon for 10$ and set it to fill for like 5 hours or whatever lol
please explain a code in detail
what is 7.5 in the formula water= frequecy/7.5
Hey bro do u know how to adjustable water flow sensor with simple relay control for pumps? Pls reply

The reading am getting is not correct.....How to correct it?
Sir please can you tell me how a flued flow sensor realized different valuem like 1 kg 2kg 5kg in a jar tin and dram
volume x density of liquid = weight
Does strong pressure make damage the YF-S201 water flow
exactly my question
Actually i bought mine again, But i test the first one and it is not actually damage, You can test it first before buying new one make sure that it is connected properly based on my experience. Less cost

How to configure to Oil?
Should I want to change the value 7
7 which is mentioned in the code
This won't work for oil. This sensor is only for water. Water and oil both has different viscosity and density.
@@HowtoElectronics thx bro
@@HowtoElectronics is there any specific sensor available for oil ?
How can I calculate total amount of water (L) if I have water flow sensor YF-B6 ? I know Frequency = 6.6 * Q (Q = L / min).
K=6.6, and modify the K value according to the delivering quantity.
Hello Sir
This code is compilation error
Please help me.....
in the link, first you say it is 450 pulses for 1 L/M.
Then you say it is 4.5 pulses for 1 L/M.
please this type of sensor can be use to measure flow of a gaz? like in the reactor of biodigester
thanks in advance !
No its only for water.
@@HowtoElectronics so Can I use it to sense the flow of the gas in my biodigester ?
You need pressure transducer for that
@@HowtoElectronics yes, but pressure transducer, IS it for the pressure? I will also measure the pressure but now, I am talking firtsly about the measureof the flow of the gas .
And I would like to be assure that , ysf201 is also adapted for the gas.
Thanks in the advance !
Currently,
I used that. But, can we use for < 1 L/mnt ?

@@nikhilnaik3791that's a connection issue or coding issue, as code is simple & if you just pasted same as above then connection issue, make sure you have set the potentiometer to check LCD backlight.
Can the data be scheduled period wise and sent to database by the arduino?
Yes
sir, what is meaning "LS" in your program ?
Liters per second
Hi Bro, I like your video. I need your small help. I need to apply this for real solution. Can you tell me how to turn ON motor switch as water flow sensor detect water in the pipe line.
Use relay for hardware.
And on the coding side use high low logic for relay according to value obtained by flow sensor.
If possible, Can u help me with a diagram.i have to do practically it at my home’ water motor and tank.
So there is no power supply?
