The FBGS-N-30-200 is a fiber optic cable, specifically a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor cable, manufactured by Omega Engineering. This cable is designed for strain, temperature, or pressure sensing in a variety of applications. The 'N' designation indicates a particular coating or jacketing material optimized for specific environmental conditions. The '30' refers to the grating length, while the '200' likely relates to the buffer or jacket diameter.
Applications:
- Structural health monitoring of bridges and buildings
- Strain measurement in aerospace components
- Temperature sensing in harsh environments
- Pressure monitoring in pipelines and vessels
- Geotechnical monitoring of dams and tunnels
Features:
- Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor technology
- High sensitivity to strain, temperature, and pressure
- Immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI)
- Long-term stability and reliability
- Compact size and lightweight
Benefits:
- Accurate and reliable measurements
- Real-time monitoring of critical parameters
- Early detection of structural defects
- Improved safety and performance
- Reduced maintenance costs
Additional Details:
Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors operate by reflecting a specific wavelength of light that changes with strain, temperature, or pressure. The reflected wavelength is measured by an optical interrogator, which provides the sensor reading. The FBGS-N-30-200 is designed to be embedded in or attached to the structure being monitored. The 'N' designation might refer to a nylon or similar protective coating. It is critical to consult the Omega Engineering datasheet for specific details regarding operating temperature, strain range, and other relevant specifications. The 30mm grating length contributes to its sensitivity, and the 200 micron coating provides protection and handling ease.
