MQ-5 Gas Sensor For Methane(CNG), Propane, and Natural Gas Detector Module
MQ-5 Gas Sensor The MQ-5 gas sensor is a device that is used to detect the presence of various gases, including methane, propane, and natural gas. It operates by measuring the resistance of a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) material to changes in the concentration of the target gas in the air. The MQ-5 sensor is sensitive to a wide range of gases, making it suitable for use in a variety of applications, such as detecting gas leaks in homes and buildings, monitoring indoor air quality, and detecting the presence of harmful gases in industrial settings. The sensor has a fast response time and high sensitivity, making it capable of detecting small concentrations of gases. The MQ-5 gas sensor consists of a sensing element, and a heating element. The sensing element is made of a metal oxide material that is sensitive to the target gas. The heating element is used to maintain the temperature of the sensing element at a constant level, which is necessary for accurate gas detection. If you want to use this MQ-5 Gas Sensor Module with Arduino, for that you will need Arduino jumper wires buzzer or siren Applications: Detecting LPG Detecting natural gas Detecting coal gas Detecting alcohol Detecting cooking fumes Detecting cigarette smoke read our blog explaining all about mq gas sensor, provides comprehensive information about MQ gas sensors, specifically the MQ series of gas sensors Package Includes: 1 x MQ-5 Gas Sensor Specifications: Operating Voltage 5V (DC) Operating Temperature -20 to 40 (°C) Dimensions 30 x 20 x 20 mm Weight 3 grams
