AP Sensing’s Enabling Solutions for Advanced Monitoring

AP Sensing provides a full suite of Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) instruments, including Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS), Linear Heat Detection (LHD), Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS), and Distributed Temperature & Strain Sensing (DTSS). These advanced tools, combined with user-friendly software for alarming and data analysis, ensure effective monitoring and protection of critical infrastructure. In addition to these core products, AP Sensing also offers a range of enabling solutions that complement and enhance the performance of both its instruments and software’s.

Fiber Optic Sensor Cables for Advanced Monitoring

AP Sensing’s fiber optic sensor cables enable precise, real-time monitoring of temperature, strain, and acoustic signals across a variety of environments. Designed for reliability even in harsh conditions, our fiber optic sensor cables are ideal for applications such as power grid monitoring, fire detection, and pipeline integrity management. Available in various configurations, including metal-free and armored options, these optic sensor cables provide flexible and durable solutions. Immune to electromagnetic interference, fiber optic sensor cables require no electrical power, making them practically maintenance-free and suitable for hazardous environments like high-voltage areas or explosive zones.

Fiber-Based Current Monitoring (FbCM) for AC Power Cables

AP Sensing’s Fiber-based Current Monitoring (FbCM) provides real-time monitoring of sheath currents in AC power cables, detecting critical issues like bonding failures, insulation breakdowns, link box flooding, ground faults, and sheath damage caused by third party intrusions (TPI). Combining electrical condition monitoring with Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology, FbCM ensures the reliability of high-voltage power infrastructure. The system is fully passive, requiring no external power, making it ideal for remote locations. FbCM seamlessly integrates with Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) setups for continuous, long-distance monitoring, making it a key solution for renewable energy, power transmission, and distribution networks, enhancing overall system reliability.
