IOT Based LPG Cylinder Monitoring System

Abstract

LPG is one of the clean fuel. It is most widely being used in India. It is being used for household purposes as well as for industrial purposes also. In case of household use it is mostly used in kitchen for cooking, whereas in case of industrial purpose it is being used in various industrial processes such as gas cutting, gas welding, metallurgical industries, steel plants, glass cutting, pharmaceutical industries and many more. Apart from this the gas cylinders are also used in schools, colleges, hospitals, hotels and restaurants and many other places. In the past years the demand for use of LPG have increased sustainably and will continue to rise. But with the increase in demand of use of LPG the rate of accidents caused due to it have also increased in the past few years. The majority of the accidents are due to the explosion of LPG cylinder. But, sometimes very small quantity of gas leakage is unnoticed and is responsible for the further major accident. This paper discusses the solution to it. The other problem which is faced by the users of LPG cylinder is the untimely emptying of the cylinder. We have used IoT (Internet of Things) in this project. It is the cloud service which will gather and store the data.
