Detailed Product Description

The fibre optic temperature chain TC-01 makes use of the inherent temperature sensitivity of the Fibre Bragg Grating. The chain consists of a fibre containing different FBGs. The fibre with the FBGs are inserted into a stainless steel capillary with a diameter of 3 mm . The capillary is filled with a special gel which keeps the fibre in a loose tube configuration. This loose tube configuration maintains the fibre stress free over the complete operating conditions. The cable is terminated with an optical connector. Capillary length, number of sensing points and the spatial distribution of the sensing points can be specified following the needs of every application.

Features

The temperature chain TC-01 can measure distributed temperatures with a resolution of 0.1 ?C and an accuracy of 2?C . The maximum temperature range is 85?C but can optionally be extended up to 180?C .

Applications

The temperature chain can be applied for distributed temperature monitoring in boreholes, pipelines, concrete structures, tunnels (fire detection),
