Measurements in Harsh Environments – Is Made Easy With FBGS Optical Fiber Forschungs-Mitteilungen Techniken-Windkraft 24. August 2013 Werbung (WK-intern) - Measurement of strain or temperature in harsh environments often requires specialist equipment, preparations or processes, with the most common environmental challenges coming from: Very low or high temperature Radioactive environments Environments subject to high EMI Applications subject to high fatigue Measurements over complex forms or large areas Multiple sensing points Traditional electric technologies can sometimes only be used once sophisticated and expensive barriers, shielding methods or other protection is in place. As such it is rewarding to know that there is a new technology that can be used to address all the above challenging applications. FBGS uses draw tower technology to manufacture their fiber optic grating
