MQ-6 LPG & Propane Gas Sensor

The MQ-6 LPG & Propane Gas Sensor is a highly sensitive and selective device designed to detect and measure liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and propane gas concentrations in the surrounding environment. It utilizes a semiconductor oxide sensing element to detect these gases, providing a reliable and accurate output signal.

Key Features:

• Dual Gas Detection: Detects both LPG and propane gas.
• High Sensitivity: Offers accurate detection of even low concentrations of gases.
• Analog Output: Provides an analog voltage output proportional to the concentration of the detected gas.
• Temperature Compensation: Automatically compensates for temperature variations to ensure accurate measurements.
• Compact Size: Small and lightweight for easy integration into various applications.

Applications:

• LPG and Propane Gas Detection: Detects and alerts users to potential gas leaks.
• Home Safety: Monitors LPG and propane gas levels in homes and other indoor spaces.
• Industrial Process Control: Regulates LPG and propane gas emissions in industrial processes.
• Scientific Research: Studies LPG and propane gas behavior and emissions.
• Environmental Monitoring: Monitors LPG and propane gas levels in the atmosphere.
