Abstract

A simple, low cost and portable handheld liquid petroleum gas detector is reported in this paper. This battery powered handheld device is fitted with an MQ2 gas sensor and the output voltage of the sensor varies in accordance with the concentration of the gas in the surrounding. The sensor is connected to a microprocessor to display the output and produce an alarm when gas leakage is detected. The concentration of the gas present in the atmosphere is measured and displayed with a detection limit of 50 ppm. The sensor demonstrated high sensitivity towards gas leakages with the response and recovery times of 5 seconds and 8 seconds respectively.
