Water Flow Sensor (Sea) YF-B8 Flowmeter G1/2 1-30L/min 3-24V Brass
The water flow sensor is a device used to sense the water flow rate in a tank. There is a Hall element in the flow sensor. When liquid flows by the sensor, it drives the Hall element inside the sensor to rotate. By calculating the rotate speed of the element, the water flow sensor can give a precise outcome of the water flow rate passed by the pipe.

How to Use Water Flow Sensor (Sea) YF-B8 Flowmeter G1/2 1-30L/min
Install the YF-B8 inline by screwing the G1/2″ connections into your piping, ensuring the arrow on the brass body aligns with flow direction. Connect the red and black wires to a 5–18 V DC supply, then feed the yellow (or signal) wire into a microcontroller’s digital input. Count pulses over a fixed interval and apply the calibration factor to calculate the flow rate in litres per minute.
