Hi all,

Is that any flow sensors can replace YF-S201? Because the water pipe is few inches.

Thank you.

Yes - lots of larger versions of such impeller type flow sensors.

if you pipe is smaller or maybe bigger and you dont know how to connect the flow sensor on it, use support pipe as a connection between it.

Actually, the pipe I used is 6 inches in diameter, so what is the recommended flow sensor used in this case?

Your selection will depend a lot on whether the pipe is horizontal or vertical or at angle and most important, is the flow filling the pipe 100%. Is the flow steady or pulsing?

The pipe is horizontal, the flow must be filling the pipe 100%? May I know what model of water flow sensor is suitable for the case? Thank you.

You are looking for an industrial product, this is an Arduino forum. Perhaps the place to ask is somewhere with
more experience of piping and flow sensors of that sort? I'd guess you might be the first person on this
forum to need such a large flow sensor.

It won't be cheap.

I guess your Google is broken.

I found some looking for "pipe 6 inch flow meter". Try it and you will find what you want.

I think this is what are you looking for.

That's for a 1 1/2" pipe. OP asked for 6".
Or are you suggesting he gets four of those 1 1/2" ones to get to 6"?
