Micron Optics has just released the os3150, a rugged strain gage based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) technology. Optimized for outdoor installations on steel structures, the os3150’s stainless steel carrier holds the FBG in tension and protects the fiber during installation.   Like the os3110 and os3120, installation is quick and easy.

 

In side by side comparisons with foil strain gages, the os3150 is equally sensitive and accurate, while providing for greater strain range and 100 times more fatigue life. The os3150 strain gage is qualified for use in harsh environments and delivers the many advantages inherent to all FBG based sensors.
