Developed in close collaboration with Airbus, the new Fibre Optic
Strain Gauge Kit is designed for the quick fixing of fibre sensors
directly to surfaces. |
|
The Strain Gauge Installation Kit allows fast, easy and reproducible
installation of fibre optic Strain Gauges (SG-01) to various surfaces.
With a patented method, optical gauge installation uses a specially
designed mounting tool - the Sensor Pad. After installation, the pad
is removed eliminating interference with the strain measurement. This
also means that the pad can be reused for the installation of other
sensors. The adhesive is UV-curable, which makes installation fast
and easy. Curing of the adhesive happens in two steps: (1) a fast
pre-cure (typically 30s) through the sensor pad and (2) a longer final
cure after removal of the sensor pad to fully cure the adhesive
(typically 5 to 10mins). |

 |
- Fast, easy and reproducible installation of Strain Gauges thanks
to the sensor pad and a UV-curable adhesive. Typically 10~20mins..
- Useable on various metallic and composite surfaces. Performance
validated on steel, stainless steel, aluminium, inconel, titanium,
glass and carbon composites.
- Almost negligible transverse sensitivity and fatigue shifts (for
up to 2 million cycles).

|
The Strain Gage SG-01 is the fibre optic equivalent of an
electrical strain gauge. It consist of a fibre containing a Fibre
Bragg Grating (FBG) that can be mounted directly on the surface of a
structure by means of an adhesive. In this way, the fibre sensor makes
direct contact with the surface and therefore measures directly the
strain at the surface. |
 |
 |
-
Buffered fibre sensor with a free fibre length around
the FBG for direct fixing of the sensor to various surfaces.
-
High strength FBG, implying high strain levels and
excellent fatigue resistance.
-
Fibre coating does not have to be removed before
fixing because of its high Youngs modulus and excellent bonding
properties.
-
The gauge factor is determined at batch level with
high accuracy.
