FiberStrike Fiber Optic Acoustic Sensor
An acoustic sensing element used in FiberStrike's pipeline leak detection system, combining fiber optic and electroacoustic techniques to locate a leak or crack between paired sensor points.
Technical overview
The system defines a zone as the distance between any two sensor points. When two sensors simultaneously detect a leak signature the system determines how far the event is from each sensor and localises it within that zone. An unlimited number of zones may be linked together to cover long pipeline runs. CEL publishes no frequency response, sensitivity, dynamic range or operating temperature figures for this sensor anywhere on its website or in any downloadable datasheet, so no specification rows are recorded.
