Gravity MQ-6 Gas Sensor Module – LPG, Butane & Propane

Sometimes, electronic sensors do more than satisfy our curiosity about detecting things we can’t see. Efficient environmental sensors like these Gravity MQ-6 Gas Sensors are lifesavers that allow you to detect harmful gases and clean your air quality. Live a healthy, worry-free life with your own gas sensor to alert you of any LPG, iso-butane and propane around you. This MQ6 probe also has a low sensitivity to alcohol, cooking fumes and cigarette smoke. Designed to interface with Arduino easily, the MQ-6 Gas Sensor is a crucial component to consumer and industrial gas leakage detecting equipment.

The MQ-6 Gas Sensor Module offers fast response times and adjustable sensitivity using a potentiometer in your electronics projects. The density of gas is proportional to the output. The Arduino IO expansion shield and an easy analog Gravity cable allows you to plug and play. These features, in conjunction with the long lifespan of materials used to build the Gas Sensor, make it an excellent investment for anyone who might be concerned with the saturation levels of dangerous gases within a home, workplace or even factory environment.
