Detailed Product Description

The mountable strain sensor MS-02 makes use of the internal strain sensitivity of the FBG. The FBG is fixed inside a ruggedised stainless steel housing between two anchoring points. The housing is foreseen of a sliding mechanism that allows both ends to move freely relative to each other. An adjustable screw mechanism is foreseen in order to reset the sensor when it becomes out of range.

In order to compensate for temperature influences, a high resolution temperature probe is integrated within the housing.

The housing consists of stainless steel and is terminated with an optical connector. Pigtail lengths and connector can be specified following the needs of every application.

The sensor can also be connectorised at both ends to make series configurations possible.

Features

The mountable strain sensor MS-02 can measure displacements and temperature with a resolution of 0,065 ?m and 0,04 ?C respectively and an accuracy of 0,65 ?m and 0,4 ?C respectively. The total displacement range is 520 ?m.

Applications

The mountable strain sensor MS-02 can be applied for measuring small displacements, cracking or fissurisation of walls and structures,
