Abstract: 

This paper deals with the systematic product design methodology and development of liquid petroleum gas (LPG) level indicator using open source software Android. Domestic Cooking gas cylinders contain LPG which is used for cooking. Sometimes consumer feels cheated with regard to the amount of gas filled by the dealer. Using LPG gas indicator with the assistance of android, one can easily know the amount of gas present in the cylinder. Also it is loaded with many new applications like gas leakage alarm, indicator to refill the cylinder. This device will come with the weighing sensors attached just below the cylinder; these sensors will sense the weight of the cylinder. The level of the gas will be shown on the smart phone screen with the assistance of android. The smart phone will be connected through Bluetooth to the sensors.
