I use MQ-4 for measurement CH4 in gas emission. The range of detection from a sensor 400 - 10000 ppm. We are measurement CH4 using gas choreograph in the lab. the result between 1 - 20 ppm. if the datasheet of sensor MQ-4 can detect range of methane 400 - 10000 ppm. My question is possible uisng MQ-4 detect CH4 in the range 1-20 ppm.
Probably not. The 1-20ppm is very little and the CH4 is very sensitive but also very inaccurate and sensitive for other gasses. It costs 1 dollar on Ebay, so don't expect to much from it.
The MQ gas sensor of 1 dollars are more or less for hobby electronics. For accurate results or to measure such low values as 1-100ppm, industrial/lab equipment is needed and those are very expensive.
The Figaro TGS6810 is better than the MQ sensors. I have seen the Figaro website, but I missed that one. Luckily you found it
The datasheet shows how to use it as a wheatstone bridge. I think you need an instrumentation amplifier for that. The INA125 is often used with an Arduino, or a digital amplifier.
To measure 1...100ppm, it will probably not be reliable because it varies some and there is some noise.
Methane : 13 to 23mV in 5000ppm.
That is 2.6 to 4.6 uV for 1ppm.
Suppose a 5V Arduino Uno board is used with 10-bit ADC and with analog INA125 amplifier. The resolution of the Uno is 5mV per bit, so the INA125 must amplify 2000 times. Hmmm, that is a lot. It will make it unreliable.
However, if you want to try something, then try the TGS6810.
According to the datasheet it needs 3.0V and 175mA. I suggest to use also 3.0V and not for example 3.3V.
