Design of Novel FBG-Based Sensor of Differential Pressure with Magnetic Transfer

Sensors (Basel). 2017 Feb 15;17(2):375. doi: 10.3390/s17020375.

Abstract

In this paper, a differential pressure sensor with magnetic transfer is proposed, in which the non-electric measurement based on the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) with the position limiting mechanism is implemented without the direct contact of the sensing unit with the measuring fluid. The test shows that the designed sensor is effective for measuring differential pressure in the range of 0~10 kPa with a sensitivity of 0.0112 nm/kPa, which can be used in environments with high temperature, strong corrosion and high overload measurements.
