Methane (chemical formula: CH1) is a colorless, odorless gas and the simplest alkane. It is mainly composed of carbon and hydrogen and is a very important natural gas resource. Methane occurs naturally in natural gas, biogas, and mine gas from oil fields and coal mines.

The application of methane is very extensive, mainly including the following aspects:

Energy fuel: Methane is an efficient fuel that is widely used for power generation, heating and cooking. In many countries and regions, natural gas is the main household and industrial fuel.

Industrial raw materials: Methane is an important raw material for the production of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon black and other chemicals. It is also used in the production of formaldehyde and other organic compounds.

Fuel cells: Methane can be used as fuel for fuel cells and directly converted into electricity, which is a clean energy conversion method.

It is precisely because methane is so widely used in life that people often ignore its potential real threat.

Methane leakage is often accompanied by fire and explosion. When the methane concentration is between 5% and 15%, once the ignition source is encountered, a serious explosion accident may occur, and the loss of life and property cannot be measured. For an invisible killer like methane, a sensor that specifically detects methane leaks is needed! Safe use of gas is very important. Here to recommend you a semiconductor sensor TGS2619-C00. It has high sensitivity to methane gas, because of its low sensitivity to volatile alcohol (common interference gas in living environment), it is an ideal sensor for household gas leak alarm.

There is also a TGS2619-E00, which is equipped with a filter cover that can eliminate the influence of interference gases such as alcohol on the basis of the original TGS2619-C00, and has the sensitive characteristics of extremely high selectivity to methane gas. Especially suitable for complex atmosphere, demanding household environment for testing appliances, is the ideal household gas leak detector sensor. Suitable for household gas leak alarms, portable gas detectors, and leak detection of gas facilities.
