About the OEP-C Fiber Optic Extensometer

The Fiber optic extensometer sensor OEP-C is designed for concrete embedment and has the well-known Fiber Optic characteristics. (Intrinsically safe, oustanding repeatability, long term monitoring and maintenaince free without drifting over time.)

Features OEP-C

  • Maintenance free without drifting over time
  • Outstanding repeatability
  • Insensitive to transverse strains
  • Intrinsically safe
  • No temperature compensation required

Applications for OEP-C

  • Pile testing
  • Dam and tunnel surveillance
  • Structural integrity of bridge and viaduct
  • Road pavement instrumentation
  • Foundation monitoring in high voltage environments
  • Concrete structure in nuclear and hazardous environments
