Fire Detection
DTS (Distributed Temperature Sensing) measures the temperature along an optical fiber, every meter, over many kilometers. This results in an accurate and continuous temperature profile along the sensor cable (1000 temperature points per kilometer).
- Provides versatility and accuracy of temperature measurement
- Uses standard Multimode (MM) or Singlemode (SM) sensing fiber – no custom fiber required
- Temperature measurement every 25cm along the full length of the fiber
Fire Detection
Especially popular for data centers that must manage fire detection. Traditional heat sensors are expensive, require regular maintenance, and often need replacement. Fiber optic cable uses back-reflection to create “sensors” along the entire length of the fiber. Our solutions offer robust and reliable asset protection for various application areas, including:
- Bus bar, bus ducts, false floors and ceilings
- Tunnels, metro, car parks
- Conveyor belts
- Cable trays and transformers
- Tank farms, coal storage
- Aircraft hangers
- Transformer buildings
Power Cable Monitoring
- Production areas
- Power plants including NPP
- Refineries and chemical plants
- Offshore platforms
- Warehouses and freezers
- Any special hazard application
Power Cable Monitoring
Our solutions monitor key application areas, including:
- Transmission and distribution cables
- HVDC/ HVAC underground power cables
- Power cable joints, terminations, tunnels and trenches
- Export cables, array cables & interconnectors
- Overhead lines & transformers
- Utility tunnels
- Substation equipment
Facility & Vessel Monitoring
- Tank and vessel leak detection
- Tank annulus and base slab monitoring
- Spill containment control
Pipeline Monitoring
TPI and Leak Detection
- TPI (third-party interference) & leak detection
- Gas and liquid pipelines
- Heated lines like sulfur pipelines
- Cryogenic pipes – LNG or LPG
Why Use Fiber Optic Linear Sensing?
