About the OSP-SW Fiber Optic Straingauge

The OSP-SW is a spot-weldable fiber optic strain sensor for monitoring deformation in the most demanding environments and can be easily adapted to be fixed on almost any alloy.

The sensor delivers outstanding repeatability and reliability in the most adverse conditions such as those related to subsea environment or offshore platform. It is completely insensitive to transverse strains. The robust design enables permanent monitoring deformation of immersed infrastructures, even under permanent pressure of 300 bar. A high temperature version is available for environments up to 250°C.

Easy and quick installation is possible with the "quick connect" configuration. When installed, the cable is easily coupled through the special adaptor to reach the signal conditioner. This prevents hassle related to cable management during deployment and the need removes the need to prepare cable section with precise length.

Features OSP-SW
