Pressure Sensor FBGP-01

Pressure Sensor

The fiber optic Pressure Sensor FBGP-01 measures pressures ranging from 1 up to 150 bar. The head of the sensor is foreseen with a thread that allows connecting the sensor to pipelines, valves, vessels or to a porous stone so that the sensor can be used to measure ground water or sea water pressure. The sensor is equipped with an internal temperature sensor meant for temperature compensation.

Features

Fiber optic pressure sensing within a range from 0 – 1 bar up to 0 – 150 bar
Watertight and ruggedized housing, applicable in harsh environments
Temperature compensation by means of an internal fiber optic temperature sensor
Optionally extendable with a porous stone to measure ground or sea water pressures
Providing integrated temperature compensationeffectively replacing two sensors in one cable design (cost saving)
Quick and easy installation
Customizable measuring membrane
Multiple km signal integrity
Zero power
Long-term reliability
Large scale integration
Intrinsically safe design

Applications

The pressure sensor can be applied for flow control and liquid level measurements in reservoirs and all sorts of pipelines. It can also be applied to measure ground water and sea water pressures / levels using the
porous stones as accessory tool.

Water level monitoring:
Dams
Reservoirs
Pressure vessels and pipelines
Pore-water pressure
