WHAT IS LPG GAS LEAKAGE
DETECTOR??
• An LPG gas sensor is a one kind of device which is used to sense the
presence of a hazardous LPG gas leak in service station, cars,
storage tanks and homes. This sensor is attached to an alarm circuit to
give an alert to the operators through a buzzer sound in the area where
the gas leak is occurring. And it automatically turn 0ff the electric power.
• The LPG Leak Detector is a wall mounted device fitted close to the
floor level with an alarm setting at 20% of Lower Explosive Limit.
Whenever there is a leak, the in-built sensor detects and alerts the user in
less than 5 minutes, much before it can cause any accidents.
• They work through sensing electrodes in the air, sending an electric
current to sound the alarm. Catalytic Bead: Using a platinum-treated
wire coil, this type of gas detector most commonly identifies combustible
gas in the air as the coil oxidises upon contact with the gas, tripping an
alarm
WHY TO USE THIS DETECTOR!
• MQ6 gas detecting sensor:-MQ6 Gas sensor is a Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS)
type Gas Sensor mainly used to detect the LPG and Butane gas concentration in
the air either at home or in industry. It has four pins positive,negative ,digital
output & analog output.
