GSM based LPG weight and LPG leakage detection System has application in Home, Hotels, restaurants as well as in Industries. This project is used to monitor the weight of LPG gas cylinder. In our home we observe whenever LPG Gas cylinder is empty, we give request for new cylinder at the office of Gas cylinder provider. Many times it happens that because of the Rush or due to the shortage of cylinder, there is a delay in providing the gas cylinder. Main reason behind this is delay in informing to the gas provider or we inform the gas provider at the last moment when the gas is empty.
To avoid all such situations, we have implemented a project called SMS based LPG gas weight detection using GSM technology. In this project we have used a loadcell as weight sensor. This sensor will be placed below the LPG gas cylinder. Output of weight sensor is given to microcontroller. Microcontroller will continuously monitor the weight of LPG gas. It can send SMS to gas booking centre automatically. This project also monitors gas leakage and sends alert SMS to user.
We have used MQ6 gas sensor module which gives digital logic data to microcontroller. The micrcontroller takes proper action to turn on alarm system whenever it detects gas leakage. The controller used in this project is ATMEGA328 (Arduino UNO). The 16*2 LCD Display is also interfaced with the microcontroller in order to show the proper status of the sensor. SMS alert is sent to user phone in case of gas leakage. We are using load cell with amplifier to give data of weight measurement. Whenever cylinder weight goes below some threshold value, SMS to book new gas cylinder is sent to user. The user then can register for it.
