Abstract: Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is the most important part of domestic daily human life but the
safety of human life is required for gas explosion. This
his methodology are used to gives the protection to
human life. when there is a gas leak aged by using automatic indication.it
ation.it also provide the feature for
automatic LPG gas booking when owner is busy and measure continues weight of LPG cylinder using
load cell.
Keywords: Arduino Uno, 16*2LCD display,Load cell,MQ3 gas sensorsensor,Buzzer.

I. INTRODUCTION

LPG gas mostly used in domestic application but few days the domestic survivance or explosion of gas
are increased this explosion of gas are very ddangerous for the society.The LPG gas booking and weight
measurement unit gives visual indication of gas leakage and continuously measure the weight of cylinder
as well as display this weight on LCD display.When weight below reference value owner side GSM
modem send the booking message to the agency and agency gives the feedback message to the owner.
When owner is absent in home and gas was leaked then GSM send the gas leakage message to the owner
and buzzer or exhaust fan automaticallyon.
II.BLOCK DIAGRAM

We analysis the system designn in two section one is the cylinder user .We are using the load cell
which will monitor the weight of the LPG gas and display the weight of the gas on the display.Gas sensor
which monitor the smell of the gas and tell us by buzzer if we can analyze by the sound of buzzer that
there is a leaking of gas.

III.HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

Arduino Uno(ATmega328):

The ATmega328 is one kind of single-chip

single chip microcontroller formed with Atmel within the mega AVR
family.. The architecture of this Arduino Uno is a customized Harvard architecture with 8 bit RISC
processor core. Others boards of Arduino Uno include Arduino Pro Mini, Arduino Nano, Arduino Due,
Arduino Mega, and Arduino Leonardo.
Leonardo.Arduino
rduino Uno is based on ATmega328P Atmel AVR family
microcontroller (MCU). This MCU has 32KB of flash, 2KB of SRAM and 1 KB of EEPROM. It has 14
digital IO pins (PORTD – 8pins, PORTC – 6 pins, PORTB – 5pins), 6 Analog input pins, which can be
sampled using on-chip
chip ADC.It also has 6 PWM outputs multiplexed on to the digital IO pins.

16*2 LCD Display:

The term liquid crystal is used to describe a substance in a state between liquid and solid but
which exhibits the properties of both.
oth. Molecules in liquid arrange themselves until they all point in the
same specific direction. This arrangement of molecules enables the medium to flow as a liquid.
Depending on the temperature and particular nature of a substance, liquid crystals can ex exist in one of
several distinct phases. Liquid crystals in a nematic phase, in which there is no spatial ordering of the
molecules, for example, are used in LCD technology. Here this used to display the password entered by
us to ON/OFF the circuit breakers.

LOAD CELL:

A load cell is an electronic sensor for measuring weight and force. When a force is applied to it,
a weak electrical signal at the millivoltage level appears on its output wires. In fact, the load cell is a
transducer which converts force into measurable electrical output.A load cell consists of a metal core
and a set of electrical resistances that transform when a force is applied to it. But after the force is
removed, it returns to its original state. The reversibility of this material de
determines
termines the quality and
accuracy of the load cell.

GAS SENSOR

The MQ3 Gas Sensor module is useful for gas leakage detection (in home and industry). It is suitable for
detecting Alcohol, Benzine, CH4, Hexane, LPG, CO. Due to its high sensitivity and fast response time,
measurements can be taken as soon as possible.The sensitivity can be adjusted by using the potentiometer on
the module

TEMPERATURE SENSOR:

LM35 is a temperature sensor that outputs an analog signal which is proportional to the instantaneous
temperature. The output voltage can easily be interpreted to obtain a temperature reading in Celsius. The
advantage of lm35 over thermistor is it does not require any external calibration. The coating also protects it
from self-heating. Low cost
ost (approximately $0.95) and greater accuracy make it popular among hobbyists,
DIY circuit makers, and students. Many low
low-end
end products take advantage of low cost, greater accuracy and
used LM35 in their products. Its approximately 15+ years to its first rrelease
elease but the sensor is still surviving
and is used in any products

BUZZER:

A buzzer or beeper is an audio signalling device, which may by mechanical, electromechanical,

or piezoelectric (piezo for short). Typical uses of buzzers and beepers include alarm devices, times and
confirmation of user input such as a mouse click or keystroke.

IV.RESULT

V.ADVANTAGES
 Safety and security.
 In the home to prevent the explosion of gases.
 To avoid the frequently checking the gas manually.
APPLICATIONS
 In gas numbering
 In Domestic use in hotels.

VI.CONCLUSION
As we shorted out the problems faced by LPG gas consumers so we come up with some solutions to
meet the few requirements of them, as we made our system is completely automate the process of refill

booking without human intervention. Our system is also reasoned to help customers to upgrade their safety
norms, act in accordingly with minimum requirements on environmental issues and mostly the basic function
being prevented by major disasters and protect life and property from reputed Accidents. The primary
objective of our project is to measure the gas present in the cylinder when weight of the cylinder is below the
fixed load, this can be done using the weight sensors. The gas retailer gets the order for a new cylinder and
the house owner (consumer) receives the message regarding the status and the secondary objective is to
provide any malfunction in gas servicing system in order to prevent damage or explosion of LPG. Thus the
system developed by us will somehow help the LPG Gas Consumers to lead a comfortable life.
FUTURE SCOPE
This monitoring system can be further enhanced by using the another real-time application. For industrial
purposes mobile robot can be developed for detecting multiple gas concentrations. Addition of load cell can
also be used as pressure sensor which detects the amount of gas in the cylinder and also detects high pressure
gas in cylinder pipe, displaying in the LCD .
