Temperature Monitoring Solution Using DTSX200 Fiber Optic Distributed Temperature Sensor

摘要

In recent years, needs have been diversifying regarding site safety (fire detection and leak detection) and facilities diagnosis. Regarding temperature monitoring, however, it is difficult to meet these needs with existing point type temperature sensors such as thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs). Yokogawa's fiber optic distributed temperature sensors (DTS) can simultaneously, continuously and reliably monitor all temperatures along optic fiber cables that are freely installed over a required area. This paper introduces the advantages of a temperature monitoring solution with the DTS system, provides application examples, and tips on the installation of fiber optic cables.
