SHM FBG Sensors

FBG sensors can be delivered bare or packaged for measuring strain on stiff surfaces or inside of objects. Bare sensors provide greatest flexibility to cater for any applications. Robust surface mountable and embeddable sensors enable monitoring of any structures during construction stage, after completion and throughout their lifetime. All sensors are fabricated with either single or multiple FBGs with or without temperature compensations.

Advantages of FBG Sensors

  • Suitable for long-term permanent Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)

  • No calibration needed

  • One cable can have up to 64 sensors

  • Simple installation

  • Cable can run kilometres, no length limit

  • Fibre optic sensors use light signal - no electrical sparking, intrinsically safe to oil or flammable environment

  • No Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI), suitable for electrical, power and nuclear plants, etc.
