A device that automatically lights up a danger sign or sounds an alarm when gas at a concentration above a specified level is generated or flows. Methane gas alarms are used in coal mines, and there are both fixed and portable types. There are various operating methods, including (1) an interferometer type (a photoconductive cell receives the movement of interference fringes and automatically sounds an alarm electrically), (2) a hot wire combustion meter type (an alarm is automatically sounded by the change in electrical resistance caused by catalytic combustion of gas), (3) a thermal conductivity meter type (a thermistor or a thermal conductivity meter using a metal element), and (4) a density difference meter type (a density difference caused by gas concentration).

規定濃度以上のガスが発生または流動してきた際に,自動的に危険表示の点灯または警報を発する機器。炭鉱で使用されているのはメタンガス警報器で,これには定置用と携帯用とがある。その作動方式としては,(1)干渉計式(干渉縞の移動を光伝導セルで受光し電気的に自動警報させるもの),(2)熱線燃焼計式(ガスの接触燃焼による電気抵抗の変化によって自動的に警報を発するもの),(3)熱伝導計式(サーミスターまたは金属製素子を用いる熱伝導計によるもの),(4)密度差計式(ガス濃度による密度差を利用するもの)などがある。
