Firstly, to start with, we need to know what is the gas that we want to detect. Every Gas Detector will have a built-in sensor, to identify the gas like Toxic, Combustible, VOC & Oxygen type of Gases. The Sensor can also be of various types of principles like Electrochemical, NDIR, Catalytic, PID and Laser. The sensor will generate a respective analog output which will be directly proportional to the gas leak concentration. Then using Signal Processing with the Microcontroller that you choose which will display the measured gas concentration.
The gas concentration is measured in PPM (Parts per Million), %LEL or %V/V
