How do I attach this thin steel pipe to my larger pipe? Should I use tape or screws?
In the practical applications of optical engineering and fiber optic sensor installations, attaching thin steel tubes (such as the stainless steel seamless steel tubes with outer diameters of 0.9\text{ mm} or 1.0\text{ mm} commonly used by OFSCN®) that encapsulate fiber optic sensors to larger pipes, neither tape wrapping nor direct screw tightening is recommended; direct screw tightening is absolutely prohibited.
The physical and mechanical limitations of these two non-standard fixing methods are
