Q & A

The MQ-6 Gas Sensor is a semiconductor-based sensor designed to detect LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) and other flammable gases, including propane, isobutane, and butane. It’s widely used in gas leak detection systems, safety alarms, and portable detectors.
The sensor utilises a tin dioxide (SnO₂) sensitive layer, whose resistance changes when exposed to combustible gases, producing an analog output proportional to the gas concentration.
