The os3600 Embeddable Strain Sensor measures average strain over the length of the gage while providing integrated temperature compensation. It is based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) technology. The os3600 is intended exclusively for embedding in concrete structures. Disk ends form a solid bond to surrounding concrete or grout. Universal ends allow the user to employ bolt-on, weld-on, or custom end brackets for attachment to rebar or other structures before embedding.
A rugged, Teflon and steel-shielded body, armored cables, and optional connector protection fittings make the os3600 suitable for harsh environments. Two FBGs are well protected inside the os3600 body. One FBG measures strain, and the other provides for integrated temperature compensation. Since there are no epoxies holding the fiber to the carrier, long-term stability is ensured by design.
