Detailed Product Description

The fibre optic temperature chain TC-03 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 is reinforced using carbon wires in the longitudinal directions which are fixed to the optical fibre using an epoxy resin. These give an excellent longitudinal stress protection to the fibre while keeping weight and diameter very small. The cable is terminated with an optical connector. Cable 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-03 can measure distributed temperatures with a resolution of 0.1 °C and an accuracy of 1°C. The chain length can go up to several km. The maximum temperature range is 85°C but can optionally be extended up to 150°C.

Applications

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