MQ4 Gas Sensor

“MQ4 is an analogue output sensor which is commonly used as compressed natural gas (CNG) sensor in MQ sensor series. Mq4 is suitable for sensing natural gas CH4 concentrations in the air. It can detect natural gas concentrations anywhere from 200 to 10000ppm. The output voltage of the gas sensor increases if the concentration of gas increases. The sensitivity of the sensor is adjustable by the Potentiometer. The MQ4 sensor module is arduino compatible.

The working voltage of MQ4 gas sensor is 5 volt DC and it draws around 750 mW. This sensor is capable of detecting Natural gas, CH4.

Applications:

• They are used in gas leakage detecting equipments in family and industry, are suitable for detecting of H4,Natural gas.
• LNG, avoid the noise of alcohol and cooking fumes and cigarette smoke.
