ABSTRACT
A main aim of this project is to monitor for liquefied
petroleum gas (LPG) leakage to avoid fire accidents
providing house safety feature where security has
been an important issue. The most common
experienced in our day- to- day lives that is regarding
GAS leakage system. When it comes it to safety of
the surrounding as well as gas container we have an
MQ-5(gas sensor), which will detect the gases by
propane, butane, carbon monoxide, smoke
etc. The system detects the leakage of LPG using gas
sensor and when the system detects the LPG
concentration in the air exceeds the certain level then
it immediately takes action by automatically. Thus
here we are using the gas sensor which place
leak points, which senses the concentration
gases such as propane, butane, smoke, alcohol
mono- oxide etc. and when the concentration value
exceeds the normal value the leakage of gas is
detected, and alert system used by buzzer a
automatically open the windows prevent
accidents. The gas sensor has been used which has
high sensitivity to gases like propane and butane.
When the concentration of LPG in air exceeds a
certain level, the sensor senses the gas leakage and the
output of the sensor goes LOW. The detection is done
by the gas sensor, through the microcontroller the
LED and buzzer are turned ON simultaneously. Using
relay DC motor is automatically open the windows.

I. INTRODUCTION
Liquid petroleum gas is generally used in houses and
industries. In homes, LPG is used mainly for cooking
purpose. This energy source is primarily composed of
propane and butane which are highly flammable
chemical compounds.LPG leaks can happen, though
rarely, inside a home, commercial premises or in gas
powered vehicles. Leakage of this gas can be
dangerous as it enhances the risk of explosion. An
odorant such as ethanethiol is added to LPG, so that
leaks can be detected easily by most people. However,
some people who have a reduced sense of smell may
not be able to rely upon this inherent safety
mechanism. In such cases, a gas leakage detector
becomes vital and helps to protect people from the
dangers of gas leakage. A number of research papers
have been published on gas leakage detection
techniques. In this project, advanced gas leakage
detection technology is used.
This work attempts to build a safety device for
detecting LPG and natural gas that leak at low leve

the vapor pressure corresponding to the temperature
of LPG in the storage vessel. The vapor pressure is
dependent on temperature as well as on the ratio of
mixture of hydrocarbons; (b) Flammability: LPG has
an explosive range of 1.8% to 9.5% volume of gas in
air. This is considerably narrower than other common
gaseous fuels;
Combustion: The combustion reaction of LPG
increases the volume of products in addition to the
generation of heat. LPG requires up to 50 times its
own volume of air for complete combustion;(d)
Odour: LPG has only a very faint smell, and
consequently, it is necessary to add some odourant ,so
that any escaping gas can vapor phase, but can,
however, suffocate when in large concentrations due
to the fact that it displaces oxygen.;(e) Toxicity: LPG
even though slightly toxic, is not poisonous in can
pose a serious effect if they leak.
II. RELATED WORK
There are very few existing model for the same
requirement .so the model have to be discussed to
provide their flaws and reason for the origin of his
new model.
A. Gas Sensor(MQ 5)
MQ5 Sensor is basically an LPG (Liquid Petroleum
Gas) which is composed of propane& butane, so
when a gas leakage is sensed by the gas sensor it will
send a high pulse to the microcontroller which will
update and even buzzer is heard in the receiver kit.
Thus the overall component and sensors play role in
the paper will explain
B. Arduino Uno Board
The Arduino Uno board based on the ATmega328.It
has 14 digital inputs and output pins, 6 analog inputs,
a 16MHZ crystal oscillators, a USB connection and
power jack and reset button.
III. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
Sensor nodes are systems of low cost, small size, and
low consumption, capable of getting information from
the environment, processing it, and sending it to the
Information to the embedded controller.
Microcontroller system that is the core of the node.
The above block diagram shows the outlay of the
entire paper which has been discussed above the
hardware requirements are quite limited & easily
available as well as less feasible. The gas container is
placed on the gas sensor and it constantly keeps on
sending the electric pulses to the microcontroller to
compare it with the ideal value. Their respective roles
which is to maintain the Boards & gas container
security, they are also connected with the
Microcontroller and an trigger pulse is sent to the
sensor sensing a gas using sensor module. The other
block is the sub board which is helpful in the
triggering of the buzzer alarm. The reset Switch
(pulse) is used to reset the microcontroller & the
devices connected to it the LCD display is used to
display the status of the gas container and as well as
to used relays rotate the motor in forward and reverse
by automatically open the window.
A. GAS SENSOR MODULE(MQ5)

SPECIFICATION OF GAS SENSOR MODULE
B. LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY
A 16x2 LCD means it can display 16 characters per
line and there are 2 such lines. In this LCD each
character is displayed in 5x7 pixel matrix. This LCD
has two registers, namely, Command and Data.
C. DC MOTOR WITH RELAYS
we can use DC motor to control garage door open and
close, gate extract and retract, curtain up and down
etc, these all have one thing in common, the DC
motor movement in two directions. While some
motors have this feature built-in, most of them we
seen today doesn't, so we may need a little trick to
achieve the goal.
D. BUZZER
This is a small 12mm round speaker that operates
around the audible 2kHz range. You can use these
speakers to create simple music or user interfaces.
Each speaker is PTH solder able and requires an
operating voltage of 3.5-5V with a mean current of
35mA max. These speakers also have a typical sound
output of 95 dB and a coil resistance of 42 ±6.3 ohms.
IV. DISCUSSION AND RESULTS
The below graph shows the updating in the sensor
adjustment for any change in the LPG gas level, there
are only two levels that is either 0(low) level or
1(high) level. The gas is considered as low if the 0
level is appeared, else it is high if the level 1 is
appeared.
The below graph shows the status of the gas sensor
which senses for any chance of gas leakage near &
around the gas container, the sensor continuously

keeps on sensing, if any change is 300-10000ppm
observed then it is updated in the table. If the level is
at 1 then there is an gas leakage from the container.
HARDWARE OVERVIEW
HARDWARE OUTPUT
V. CONCLUSION
The project presented a new approach in the detection
of LPG at ambient conditions. A cost- effective gas
leakage detection system was proposed, designed and
successfully implemented in this paper. Along with
gas leakage detection, this system gives a fully
automated approach towards the automatically
window opening. Real time sensing the gas leakage
and detect the leakage alert to the user by buzzer and
its display on LCD makes it an efficient home
security system and also can be used in industries and
other places to detected the gas leakage. Additionally
we will obtain a service which will be very much
useful for all urban and rural people. Even we can
control the gas usage which is done through black-
market.
