Abstract

In order to detect the liquid leak, many researchers present different methods. However, traditional detection methods are electrical methods, which are costly and unsafe. In this study, we present a LPG sensing system for leak detection of oil storage tanks. Since LPG is sensitive to external refractive index changes LPGs can be used as sensors to detect oil leak.
