Description

nnnn

The os4100 is specifically designed to provide temperature compensation data for strain

nnnn

measurements from FBG based strain gages installed on the same structure. Because

nnnn

its installation procedure is similar is to the os3100 Optical Strain Gage, it is a convenient

nnnn

choice for compensation of the os3100. It is also compatible with the os3200 Optica

nnnn

Strain Gage. The os4100 Temperature Compensation Sensor is designed to make fiber

nnnn

handling easy and sensor installation fast and repeatable. It is based on fiber Bragg

nnnn

grating (FBG) technology.

nnnn

The os4100's stainless steel carrier holds the FBG in tension and protects the fiber during

nnnn

installation. Since there are no epoxies holding the fiber to the carrier, long term stability

nnnn

is ensured by design. The universal attachment feature on the os4100 carrier design

nnnn

allows fastening by weld, epoxy or screw.

nnnn

This sensor can be used alone or in series as a part of an FBG sensor array. Installation

nnnn

and cabling for such arrays is much less expensive and cumbersome than comparable

nnnn

electronic gage networks. The os4100 Temperature Compensation Gage is qualified for

nnnn

use in harsh environments and delivers the many advantages inherent to all FBG based

nnnn

sensors.

nnnn

With each sensor, Micron Optics provides a Sensor Information Sheet listing the gage

nnnn

factor and calibration coefficients needed to convert wavelength information into

nnnn

engineering units. Micron Optics' ENLIGHTSensing Software provides a utility to calculate

nnnn

and then record, display, and transmit data for large networks of sensors. Installation,

nnnn

qualification and other sensor information is available at: http://www.micronoptics.com/
