Key component - optical fibresWith optical fibres embedded in the pipe reinforcement, a laser that can send light through them and an electronic unit that can process signals from them, you can measure whether the oil temperature in the pipeline is high enough to maintain a continuous flow, and you can calculate very accurately how many years' service the pipe has left.
- There are currently no other systems on the market capable of monitoring such production-critical factors as oil temperature and service life. For our customers the system therefore represents a reliable tool for preventing unpleasant consequences arising from unexpected production stoppages, says Michael C. Hjorth.
