"MSH-P/HC/NC/5/V/P/0 - 3% Volume Ethylene = 0.4V - 2.4V"

We built that into a custom SS body with a Delrin mounting insert, and ran the serial connections to a custom board that interfaced with up to 8x sensor locations (in conjunction with some other sensor elements). The elements were ~US$200/ea ~4.5 years ago.

These are fancy interpolated IR absorption sensors internally, so any gases of similar concentrations could throw off the readings; depends on the environment. Would be BEST to calibrate to local atmosphere conditions of the installation, but that's not really something you can sell. :P
