Educational Gas Alarm Kit with MQ-5 Sensor for LPG and Natural Gas Detection
The MQ-5 gas detection kit is designed for building and studying an electronic warning system for detecting combustible gases. It uses an MQ-5 semiconductor gas sensor that responds to LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), methane, propane, butane and natural gas.
When the detected gas concentration exceeds the set threshold, the system activates an acoustic and visual alarm to indicate the presence of gas. The kit demonstrates the operating principle of gas detection systems and is suitable for educational purposes, electronics experiments and DIY projects.
Main Features:
Sensor: MQ-5 semiconductor gas sensor
Detectable gases: LPG, methane, propane, butane and natural gas
Alarm type: Acoustic and visual
Standard MQ-5 module supply voltage: 5V DC
Operating principle: Change in the sensing element's electrical resistance when combustible gas is present
Alarm threshold adjustment: Depending on the control circuit configuration
Suitable for educational electronics projects and experiments
Applications:
Learning how gas detection systems work
Electronics and automation training
Experiments with MQ-5 gas sensors
Building gas alarm prototypes
Arduino and other DIY electronics projects
Demonstrating acoustic and visual gas detection alerts
The MQ-5 is a combustible gas sensor with a broad sensitivity range. Standard MQ-5 modules are commonly specified for an approximate detection range of 200–10,000 ppm. Actual readings depend on the gas type, calibration and operating conditions.
Important: This kit is intended for educational use, experiments and prototyping. It is not a certified gas safety system and must not replace a professional gas detector or certified gas alarm.
