ABSTRACT Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) leak detection system is a precautionary measure for hazards such as a gas cylinder explosion. There have been many incidents of building explosions because the occupants were negligent in anticipating the gas leak. Therefore, this research has made a gas leak detection system that is integrated with the IoT concept using Google Firebase. This tool aims to anticipate the dangers of gas leaks that occur in a room in a building or house. This tool is wrapped in an acrylic box measuring 10 x 11 x 8 cm. By using NodeMCU ESP8266 as the main control, the gas sensor uses MQ - 2 as input, LED, LCD, and buzzer as output. This tool is also equipped with IoT (Internet of Things) so that the room where this tool is installed when a gas leak occurs can provide notifications remotely using an application on a smartphone. From this tool, test results have been obtained for the ideal distance from the gas regulator to the sensor which is 1 cm away by producing a sensor response time of 0.90 seconds and also getting the response time of the tool in sending notifications to the smartphone application of 1.79 seconds. Keywords: LPG, Firebase, IoT, NodeMCU, Gas Detection

LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) has become the fuel for cooking for most households in Indonesia. The use of LPG for cooking requires high level of caution, due to the danger that may arise from gas leakage. If the molecules of flammable LPG gas are present in the air at a certain concentration and there is a triggerring factor in the form of flame or sparks, explosion and fire may occur. To prevent disasters caused by a LPG gas leakage, the author proposed an Arduino-based LPG gas leak detector (GLD). The GLD is equipped with a MQ-2 gas sensor, capable of measuring the LPG concentration in air in units of parts per million (ppm). Based on the measurement result, the GLD provides an early warning of LPG leakage through 3 condition levels: Normal, Alert, and Danger. Each condition level is characterized by the activation of LED indicators, a miniature air circulation fan , and a buzzer. Alert warning is released when the sensor reads more than 400 ppm (2.05% of LPG Lower Explosive Level). Danger warning is given at 800 ppm (4.10% of LPG Lower Explosive Level) or higher reading. An HC-06 Bluetooth module creates a wireless connection between the GLD and a smartphone. Through an application created on Blynk platform, the smartphone can monitor the LPG concentration at a distance of 10 m from the GLD. The GLD is tested and succeeded to detect gases coming from an LPG cylinder and from a gas lighter. The GLD also runs perfectly for the designed early warning scheme.

The gas sealing performance of electronic sphygmomanometer is an important index of its quality control. At present, the gas leak detection of sphygmomanometer is mainly by manual, which has disadvantages of low efficiency and precision, huge impact of human factors and so on. An automatic and high precision gas sealing performance inspection module is proposed in the paper, which solves the problems of pressure calibration and gas leak detection of sphygmomanometer products. The paper also introduces the principle and implementation of system project. The module is designed by STC12C5A single-chip, KPM DC air pump and the pressure sensor of E8CC, which has advantages of high precision, high efficiency, low cost, and flexible operation etc.
