Product information "RTS125+ Fiber Optic Distributed Strain and Temperature Measurement Systems"

8 Channels; 16,384 Sensors; Total Sensing Length 104 m; Spatial Resolution 1.6 mm; Temperature Measurement Range -270 to +1,200 °C

Sensuron’s RTS125+ series of fully ruggedized, compact fiber optic sensing system delivers reliable measurements in today’s most demanding environments. Distributed sensing capabilities make it possible to measure different parameters using a single system. This simplifies the collection and monitoring of diverse measurements. Its compact size, robust enclosure and increased efficiency make it an appealing choice for demanding installations with stringent limitations on physical space and power consumption. By combining data from multiple fibers, the technology can provide 3D visualization of shape and strain.RTS125+ can simultaneously measure strain, temperature, deflection, 3D shape positioning and more—making vast amounts of data available in real time. In today’s world, success is increasingly predicated on the ability of an organization to obtain and interpret large quantities of data. The RTS125+ allows engineers across industries to gather the data they want, not just the data they can get.The RTS125+ hardware sensing system is about the size of a loaf of bread. Weighing just 13 pounds, the system is ideal for use in numerous applications where weight and power consumption are key factors. The RTS125+ processes information at rates up to 100 times per second, representing a 20-fold improvement over existing technologies. The sensing system can derive key measurements in addition to strain and temperature, including 3D shape, deflection, pressure, strength, stiffness (bending and torsion), liquid level, and operational load. The RTS125+ offers unprecedented levels of data intensity – each 13 m hair-like optical fiber provides up to 2,000 data points with adjustable spatial resolution.

Manufacturer "Sensuron"
Sensuron’s ground-breaking distributed sensing technology provides engineers with a powerful, robust and easy-to-use tool for structural testing, design optimization, structural health monitoring, thermal mapping and 2D/3D shape sensing. Unlike strain gauges and thermocouples, which only capture data at a discrete point, Sensuron interrogators monitor strain and temperature distributions by transforming an optical fiber into a spatially continuous sensor that performs like thousands of strain gauges or thermocouples installed adjacent to one another. This allows our customers to capture significantly more data than traditional sensors, with less instrumentation – saving them measurable time and labor costs.

UVC Fiber Optic Splices
Bare Fiber; 125-140 µm; Cleaved; Ø3.8x38 mm; Material Borosilicate Glass; Average Light Loss 0.20 dB; Operating Temperature -40-+80°C Norland Products’ UVC fiber optic splice is the first really easy-to-use, high-performance connection for optical fibers. This splice incorporates a precision TRW glass alignment guide and a proactive glass sleeve in a unique one-piece design that minimizes handling of bare fiber. Everything has been carefully engineered into this compact 38 mm glass tube. Just fill with Norland optical adhesive, insert fibers and cure for a sturdy, ready to handle splice in minutes. The wide mouth entrance of the splice makes it easy to insert fibers. This versatile design feature also allows the one splice to accommodate all types of fiber with any size buffer coating up to 1 mm in diameter. The fibers easily slide into the central glass guide and automatically align with pinpoint accuracy. The all-glass construction provides the perfect thermal match for optical fibers and assures long stability over a wide range of temperatures. Two variants are available: Part No. 20125 is an UVC optical splice that fits 125 µm to 140 µm fiber, while 20126 is suitable for preinstalling pigtails that also fits 125 µm to 140 µm fiber. A compact, metal precision machine fixture is available as an accessory, that holds a splice and fibers for optimum alignment and cure.
