Detailed Product Description

The fibre optic pressure sensor P-01 consists of a membrane that is connected to a FBG mounted under pre-strain. When pressure is applied to the membrane, the membrane will deflect resulting into a change in the FBG strain value and hence also in a change of the reflected FBG wavelength.

The head of the pressure sensor is foreseen of a thread that allows connecting the sensor to pipelines, valves and vessels.

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

The housing is made of stainless steel and is terminated with an optical connector using a plastic tubing. Tubing lengths and connector can be specified following the needs of every application.

.

The sensor is single connectorised but can on request also be designed for series configurations.

Features

The pressure sensor P-01 can measure pressure and temperature with a resolution of 0,05% Full Scale and 0,1 °C respectively and an accuracy of 1% Full Scale and 1 °C respectively. The pressure range can be chosen between 1 and 150 bar.

Applications

The pressure sensor can be applied for flow control in all sorts of pipelines and liquid level measurements in reservoirs and others.
