About
The Optical Fibre Sensors Research Centre, at the University of Limerick, have developed a number of technologies and capabilities that are suitable for a multitude of applications. Technology Glass, bio compatible pressure sensor with integrated temperature measurement and temperature compensation. Sensor consists of a length of fibre optic (of any length required), which is 0.25mm in diameter, and a sensing tip which is 0.22mm in diameter. Pressure and / or temperature sensing in the medical, automotive, geothermal and / or industrial applications -20°C to 800°C is feasible. Applications Oil and Gas sector: Feed zones of gas, water, condensate or crude oil can be distinguished and quantified. Geothermal sector: Detecting and quantifying two phase flow within a well. Hydrogeology: Realtime measuring and monitoring the salinity of water e.g. drinking water Laboratory applications: Real time monitoring of changes in the chemical composition of a fluid
