Description
The embeddable strain sensor ES-01 makes use of the internal strain sensitivity of the FBG. The FBG is prestrained inside a ruggedized housing between two anchoring points, which makes it possible to measure both extension and compression.
The sensor can be directly embedded into the concrete structure.
The sensor can be connectorised at both ends to make series configurations possible using FC/APC connectors.
Features
The embeddable strain sensor ES-01 can measure displacements with a resolution of 1 µe and an accuracy of 1% Full Scale. The total strain range is 5000µe. The sensor is also sensitive to temperature changes. In order to compensate for these influences a temperature sensor is recommended when large temperature variations are expected. The sensor can be used in harsh environments and is watertight according to IP68 BSEN60529.
Applications
Concrete health monitoring, strain monitoring on reinforcement steel bars, vibration monitoring,…
