MQ-4 Methane Gas Sensor Module

MQ4 ( MQ - 4 ) gas sensor has high sensitivity to Methane, also to Propane and Butane. The sensor could be used to detect different combustible gas, especially Methane, it is suitable for different applications. When the target combustible gas exists, the sensor’s conductivity is higher along with the gas concentration rising.
