TGS816 has high sensitivity to methane, propane, and butane, making it ideal for natural gas and LPG monitoring.
In the presence of a detectable gas, the sensor's conductivity increases depending on the gas concentration in the air. A simple electrical circuit can convert the change in conductivity to an output signal which corresponds to the gas concentration.
The TGS816 is not only sensitive to a wide range of gases, it also has a ceramic base which can withstand severe environments up to 200°C. It has high sensitivity to methane, propane, and butane, making it ideal for natural gas and LPG monitoring. The sensor can detect a wide range of gases, making it an excellent, low cost sensor for a variety of applications.
