Fiber-optic sensors work well in tight spots and in applications with a high degree of electrical noise, but care must be taken when specifying these critical components. Sensing part presence in ...

The inner circle classifies fiber sensors into ‘Macroscopical’ and ‘Microscopical’ according to the fiber dimension. The outer pie chart shows the classification according to the working principles.

Pipeline contents are typically valuable, volatile, and harmful to the environment if allowed to escape. With them being susceptible to aging, accidental damage, or tampering, the chances of an escape ...
