fiber optic temperature sensor

HBM K-OTC optical temperature compensation sensor is based on the fiber Bragg technology. It facilitates compensation of thermal temperature of dilatation to provide improved measurements. The unique features of the sensor make it ideal for applications experimental stress analysis. Examples would be testing of materials or applications with high voltage.

Optical sensors, such as K-OR or K-OL from HBM rely heavily on the temperature. While measuring strain, if there are fluctuations in the temperature, the measurement of the resulting mechanical and thermal strain is taken. But in order to measure only the mechanical strain, it is essential to compensate for the thermal strain.

With K-OTC, mathematical compensation is made possible using the catman®AP measurement software. The easy-to-use software simplifies mathematical compensation.
