The OFSCN® 300°C OFDR Micro All-Metal Strain Sensor is a specialized high-definition fiber optic sensing (HD-FOS) tool designed specifically for distributed strain and stress measurement in harsh environments.
Technical Principles and Advantages
Unlike traditional sensors, this micro-strain sensor utilizes OFDR (Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry) technology to achieve millimeter-level spatial resolution. Its core technical features include:
- High-Temperature Material Construction: It uses a single-layer seamless elastic alloy tube for encapsulation. The internal fiber is a 300°C Polyimide Coated Single-Mode Fiber, ensuring the sensor can operate stably from -60°C up to +300°C.
- Excellent Strain Transfer: The all-metal seamless tube design eliminates the “creep” effect common in polymer-based or glued sensors, allowing for high-modulus strain transfer from the structure to the fiber core.
- Micro Dimensions: With an outer diameter of only 0.6mm, it can be easily embedded into composite materials or welded onto metal surfaces without significantly affecting the structural integrity of the target object.

Application Scenarios
This sensor is ideal for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) in aerospace, automotive testing, and industrial piping where high temperatures and space constraints prevent the use of bulky traditional strain gauges.
