Benefits of FBG-based sensors – Our strengths. Your advantage.
Large number of sensor points – enables array sensing
The high number of sensor points in one single optical fiber gives great measurement coverage for array sensing in line, area, and volume measurements for enhanced process visualization and control.
Extremely small sensors – fast and precise measurements
The small diameter of the fiber enables fast responses for monitoring of dynamic processes and allows measurement exactly where you need it.
Signals transfer by light – easy cabling
The measurement signals are transferred by light only, and so are insensitive to electro-magnetic fields and do not disturb other devices. The signal cable can be laid next to power cables over very long distances if required, with no disturbance from electromagnetic fields. All dielectric fiber sensors do not electrically disturb other devices.
Low power light source – intrinsically (EX) safe
The presence of only low-power light and no electricity in the cabling and at the sensor point allows for use in the most hazardous environments by being inherently safe optical radiation, according to IEC 60079-28:2015 for the highest optical protection class, if required.
No electronics – very long service-life
With no degrading electronic components, the fiber optic sensors can tolerate temperature extremes (high and low), high voltage, aggressive chemicals, vibrations, humidity, and explosive environments.
Multiplexed telecoms technology – low system cost
Fiber optic sensing uses high-volume, low-cost telecoms technology. A sensing system with many fiber optic sensors connected to a single instrument by simple, low-cost optical cable can be significantly less expensive than an equivalent system using legacy electronic technology.
