Results for tag: "Distributed Temperature Sensing"

Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) is a technology used in optoelectronics to measure temperature over a wide area. It is based on the principle of measuring the temperature of a medium by detecting the change in the optical properties of the medium. DTS systems use optical fibers to measure temperature along the length of the fiber. The optical fiber is typically embedded in the medium to be measured, such as soil, concrete, or water. The optical fiber is connected to a light source and a detector, which measure the change in the optical properties of the medium. The data is then processed to calculate the temperature of the medium. DTS technology is used in a variety of applications, such as monitoring of pipelines, power plants, and other industrial processes. It is also used in medical applications, such as monitoring of tissue temperature during surgery. Some companies in the DTS market include Yokogawa Electric Corporation, Siemens AG, ABB Ltd., and Honeywell International Inc. Show Less Read more
