In order to detect external intrusion which threatens the safety of oil-gas gathering pipelines in time, it is necessary to monitor the operation status of pipelines in real time. A distributed fiber optic perturbation sensing principle based on the Mach-Zehnder (M-Z) interferometer was described. The experimental device was set up to monitor the intrusion signal along the optical fiber. An improved cross correlation algorithm was used to locate intrusion, which processed piecewise signal. Experiments were completed on the disturbance's optic fiber with a total length of 10.1km. The system monitored the external intrusion signal and correctly displayed the position in real time. The average positioning error 68.12m is achieved. The positioning error is reduced about 43% over the conventional method. The proposed method can effectively improve the positioning accuracy of the external intrusion signal.
Length of chirped fiber Bragg grating sensor is very important for detonation velocity. Different from other ways, we proposed a novel method based on the optical frequency domain reflection theory to measure the length of chirped fiber grating sensor in non-contact condition. This method adopts a tunable laser source to provide wavelength scanning laser, which covers the Full Width at Half Maximum of spectrum of the chirped fiber Bragg grating sensor. A Michelson interferometer is used to produce optical interference signal. Finally, the grating’s length is attainable by distance domain signal. In theory, length resolution of chirped fiber Bragg grating sensor could be 0.02 mm. We perform a series of length measurement experiments for chirped fiber grating sensor, including comparison experiments with hot-tip method. And the experiment results show that the novel method could accurately measure the length of chirped fiber Bragg grating sensors, and the length differences between the optical frequency domain reflection method and the hot-tip probe method are very small.
Fault diagnosis of the rolling bearing means a lot for property and life safety. In this paper the Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) vibration sensor and resonance demodulation technology are used in the fault diagnosis of the rolling bearing. Traditionally, the vibration signals are measured by the resistance strain gauge, accelerometer, etc. But those traditional electronic sensors are usually influenced by the industry electromagnetic noise. But the FBG vibration sensor is totally different. It has a lot of advantages such as small volume, light weight, easy connection and so on. And the high industry electromagnetic noise means nothing to the FBG sensors. In this paper, we use the FBG vibration and temperature sensors to measure the fast strain and temperature signal of the rolling bearing. In order to extract the fault signals from strong background noise, the resonant demodulation technology is used to analyze and process the vibration signals collected by the FBG sensors. In order to verify the reliability of the FBG vibration sensor and resonance demodulation technology applied in the fault diagnosis of the rolling bearing, several experiments are done. Five FBG vibration sensors are attached on the different parts of the rolling bearing to verify its function and its influence on the fault diagnosis of the rolling bearing. The results of the experiments show that the FBG vibration sensor method could be used in fault diagnosis of the rolling bearing. The repetitive experiments show the reliability of the FBG vibration sensors method.
