As the use of optical sensors based on Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) technology becomes more and more widespread, both in long term complex monitoring systems and simple short term structural testing, HBM offers some valuable information and advice in its latest webinar, which takes place on 27th April 2017.

Traditionally associated with complex handling and fragility, ‘Field installations of optical structural health monitoring systems: Lessons learned over a decade’ dispels this myth and shares the dos and don’ts involved in installing systems based on FBG technology.

Used to determine strain, temperature, acceleration, displacement and tilt in components, structures and in environments where conventional technologies have reached their limits, FBG technology opens the door to a range of possibilities.

Also used to test structures and materials with high levels of strain, high numbers of load cycles, high electromagnetic noise or in highly explosive environments, optical sensors based on FBG technology also enable the ability to monitor the condition of large structures in harsh environments, using different types of sensors, which are connected in line over long distances and interrogated by a single instrument.

Suitable for a variety of applications including, Civil Engineering, Energy, and Aerospace, to name but a few, optical products are designed to be as easy to use and understand as possible for users with limited experience.

Exclusively available from the HBM Academy, this informative webinar on FBG Technology has been designed to fit in with challenging time constraints which can often make attending training courses difficult. 

Each webinar, which normally takes a maximum of 30 minutes, can be easily accessed at a later date or simply used as a refresher course.  In addition, all registered attendees will receive a link to the webinar, via email, after the presentation.

All HBM webinars are free of charge and open to anyone.  However, spaces are limited and are available on a first come, first served basis.  Please reserve your spot by booking at www.hbm.com/en/3157/webinars
