Page 11: Product Description
Functional Description 3.1.1 Function The fos4Strain patch is a fiber-optical strain sensor based on a fiber Bragg grating. The sensor is designed for strain monitoring of various structures, for example GRP, metal and concrete. The sensor is suitable for measurements under difficult conditions as the functional principle makes the sensor immune to electromagnetic interference and lightning. -
Page 12: Operation
The sensor is connected to a compatible measuring device. The wavelength of the sensor can then be used to determine the strain of the structure. See Calculation of strain, page 13. SEN1374_4-10_1.2.x_2.1_fos4Strain 12 / 35 © fos4X 2020 patch_(2m, 1553nm, E-2000 green)-en-us... -
