Detailed Product Description

The embeddable strain sensor ES-01 makes use of the internal strain sensitivity of the FBG. The FBG is prestrained inside a ruggedised housing between two anchoring points, which makes it possible to measure both extension and compression.

The sensor can be applied in different ways: embedded into a structure, fixated using bolts or welded directly on the structure. The sensor is configured so that the distance between both anchoring pieces will be 70 mm .

The sensor can be connectorised at both ends to make series configurations possible. Pigtail lengths and connector can be specified following the needs of every application. In series configuration the strain sensor is not temperature compensated. The single configuration can be temperature compensated (optional).

Features

The embeddable strain sensor ES-01 can measure displacements with a resolution of 1 ?e and an accuracy of 10 ?e. The total displacement range is 5000 ?e.

The embeddable strain sensor in single configuration that is temperature compensated, can measure temperature with a resolution of 0,1 ?C and an accuracy of 1 ?C .

Applications

Concrete health monitoring, strain monitoring in composite structures, strain monitoring on reinforcement steel bars, vibration monitoring,
