Fiber optic temperature measurement technology with the highest level of expertise from 25 years of experience
Glass fibers are robust, suitable for everyday use, and easy to install due to their small diameter. These systems are particularly superior in situations where weight or high flexibility is important in order to reach inaccessible areas, or where many measuring points distributed across the fiber are desired. A single fiber weighing just a few grams can contain hundreds of sensors and also serve as a signal path.
From simple applications such as single-point measurements in strong electromagnetic fields or explosion-proof areas, to multi-point applications with many defined measuring points, to the measurement of temperature profiles with thousands of measuring points on a single fiber at millimeter intervals, for example in process control in tubular reactors (process engineering) or in the development of batteries and power-to-X applications – we know the potential and we know the solution!
