Advantages of OFSCN® Ultra-High-Range Fiber Bragg Grating Strain Sensor:

Compared to traditional resistive strain gauges, OFSCN® ultra-high-range FBG strain sensors enable continuous real-time online strain measurement. They are not affected by environmental conditions such as air quality (haze, rain, snow, obstruction), ensuring accurate measurements with rapid response (millisecond-level response).

Compared to various electric signal strain sensors based on current, resistance, voltage, capacitance, and other technologies, OFSCN® ultra-high-range FBG strain sensors are based on fiber optic communication and fiber optic sensing. Therefore, they are not affected by electromagnetic interference and can work in various strong and weak electromagnetic environments.

Compared to traditional resistive strain gauges, OFSCN® ultra-high-range FBG strain sensors have a longer length, allowing for the measurement of large displacements and a wider range of environmental or object monitoring. This helps save on the number of sensors used and reduces costs.

OFSCN® ultra-high-range FBG strain sensors are digital, recordable, and network-enabled sensors. They are easy to deploy and have flexible lengths. The strain information can be monitored without the need for visual observation. The FBG strain sensing system formed by these sensors can monitor strain information in large spaces, over long distances, and across multiple targets, providing a wide spatial coverage range.
