OptiMet by HBM

Intrinsic sensors ensure efficiency and reliable measurement

When the optical fiber itself forms the sensor element and, in addition, is used for transmitting measurement data, we speak of an intrinsic, fiber-optic sensor.In specific applications, fiber Bragg grating-based strain gages are superior to their electrical equivalents. HBM has completed its range of electrical and optical strain gages with the OptiMet by HBM™ system of fiber-optic components with and without integrated Bragg grating measurement function.

The OptiMet systems offers singlemode optical fibers with integrated functional grids:

• OptiMet-OMF (Ormocer fiber)
• OptiMet-PKF (Coated fiber)

And, in addition, passive components offering useful features:

• OptiMet-TMF (Patch cable, standard telecommunications fiber)
• OptiMet-LAF (Low attenuation fiber)

Whether in aerospace, geotechnology or pipeline monitoring - efficiency and reliability are guaranteed!
