This series might not be fancy, but it is designed for a long life and ensures minima ...
Good day peeps! Welcome to another episode of the MQ gas sensor series and today, the topic is the MQ214 natural gas sensor. We know that natural gas is inflammable and is utilised widely for cooking and other purpose in domestic areas as well as a fuel in multiple industries. The leakage of natural gas can be the reason for the accidents and its accumulation may even result in the explosion. Moreover, continuous inhalation of this gas can cause health issues such as nausea, dizziness, and headaches therefore, instant detection of its leakage is crucial. For this, one of the best options is MQ ...
Hey students! Welcome to another episode of the MQ gas sensor series. Today, we are interested to learn about the high-performance sensor that is used to detect the presence of benzene gas. This is the MQ138 gas sensor and it instantly detects the target gas because it has tin dioxide as the sensing element. Usually, it can detect multiple gases and is considered as the Volatile organic compounds (VOC) sensor but the most significant target gas of this sensor is benzene therefore, we’ll pay attention towards the discussion of the benzene detection through this sensor. Many features of this sen ...
Hi readers! Welcome to the next article on the MQ series gas sensors. Today, our motto is to learn about the basic information of the MQ137 ammonia gas sensor. We know that ammonia gas is extensively used in industries, agricultural lands, Environmental Monitoring, Health and Public Safety, etc. In such areas, there are great chances of leakage that can be harmful and here, sensors like MQ137 are used for the instant detection of the Ammonia gas. It is a colorless gas with a distinct pungent smell and its inhalation may cause eyes, lungs, nose, and throat infections and irritation. So, the MQ1 ...
Hi friends! Welcome to another article in which we are highlighting the basic details of a gas sensor from the MQ sensor series.
