- Ideal & Cost Efficient Replacement For Conventional Temperature Sensing
The FOS10 series Fiber Optic Sensors are a complete solution for most industrial temperature monitoring and indicating applications. They are based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) technology, specially designed to make fiber handling easy and sensor installation quick and repeatable.
These sensors have optimum accuracy and performance. FOS10 is offered with three packaging options that are very similar to conventional RTDs, and Thermocouples. The FOS10 can be an ideal and easy replacement for most conventional temperature sensors.
FOS10 works by installing at least one Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) segment into a fiber optic cable; tens or hundreds of FBGs can be installed into one cable and integrated simultaneously within a single measuring system, such as Intempco’s FOD01 kit.
An FBG is a unique optical sensor: It reflects a unique narrow bandwidth of light, which truly responds to changes in temperature, and it is not affected by external conditions.
The effect is a very low cost mechanism ideal for distributed monitoring of temperature within large tructures, large distances, and machinery.
