The Benefits of Fiber Optic Sensors

LxDATA has unlocked the power of optical sensors, so that the Oil and Gas industry can reap the benefits of these sensors. A revolution in sensing, head and shoulders above electronic sensors, fiber optic sensors deliver:

  1. Reliability: unlike electronic sensors, fiber optic sensors are not temperature sensitive so they can be deployed in extreme conditions. In fact, unlike fiber optic sensors have been proven reliable to 300° C.
  2. Longevity: fiber optic sensors can be designed to last 15 to 20 years, with no wear-out phase.
  3. Simplicity: fiber optic sensors are completely passive, requiring no power supply and limited handling. They have a minimum number of components and no moving parts, making them very stable.
  4. Multi-application: fiber optic sensors can be used for monitoring a variety of factors, such as temperature, pressure, strain, and the presence of chemicals, intrusions and more. Unlike electronic sensors, they are immune to electromagnetic interference, and are corrosion-, chemical-, water- and lightning-resistant, making them the perfect solution for harsh or complex environments.
  5. Flexibility: fiber optic sensors can cover very short or very long distances, inches or miles, depending on your application.
