DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF A PORTABLE GAS LEAK TESTER

Abstract

Now a days we find most of the fire accidents  occurred are due to the leakage of gas cylinders which 
explode and cause lots of damage not only economically but also result in severe injuries and in some cases even 
human loss as well. Hence a source or device is needed for testing the leakage of gas in a cylinder within the 
industry before it is delivered to the consumer. One such type of device is the Portable Gas Leak Tester. The main 
objective of the project includes Modeling and analysis of a Portable Gas Leak Tester. In the present work, an 
attempt is made to evaluate the performance of the PGLT model through FEA. The PGLT model is the 
assembly of various sub parts like O-ring tester upper body, tester lower body, tester nozzle, holder, centering cone.
