Fibre optic sensors - Part 1-1: Strain measurement - Strain sensors based on fibre Bragg gratings (IEC 61757-1-1:2016); German version EN 61757-1-1:2017
Lichtwellenleitersensoren - Teil 1-1: Dehnungsmessungen - Dehnungssensoren basierend auf Faser-Bragg-Gatter (IEC 61757-1-1:2016); Deutsche Fassung EN 61757-1-1:2017
Overview
This part of IEC 61757 defines detail specifications for fibre optic sensors using one or more fibre Bragg gratings (FBG) as the sensitive element for strain measurements. Generic specifications for fibre optic sensors are defined in IEC 61757-1. This document specifies the most important features and characteristics of a fibre optic sensor for strain measurements, based on use of an FBG as the sensitive element, and defines the procedures for their determination. Furthermore, it specifies basic performance parameters and characteristics of the corresponding measuring instrument to read out the optical signal from the FBG. This document refers to the measurement of static and dynamic strain values in a range of frequencies. The standard contains the minimum requirements, the details and the test severity for different tests. Thus, the standard offers investment security for manufacturers and users and provides test laboratories and manufacturers with defined information for testing. The standard is aimed at manufacturers, users and testing institutes. The responsible committee is DKE/UK 412.2 "Komponenten für Kommunikationskabelanlagen" ("Components for communication cabling systems") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
