Sensors for Structural
Health Monitoring

The technology is used in air pre- Level/Scale of Development :
heater temperature monitoring Available for licensing
systems that detects leakages of air
pre-heaters through temperature Application
monitoring. The system is immune
to interference and provides Structural health monitoring of static
enhanced safety. Small size makes and movable structures e.g. railways,
them amenable to being embedded power masts, buildings etc; monitoring
into various structural materials. industrial installations such as boilers.
Similar sensors are also used for Application in railways, construction
in situ measurement of structural and power sectors.
parameters in moving systems such
as railway pantographs. Salient Technical Features

Intellectural Property Rights (IPR) : Optical fiber-based sensing devices;
Patented free from electromagnetic interference;
operable in harsh environments where
conventional sensors are unusable;
can be used in distributed form i.e. over
hundreds of sensors in a single optical
fiber; tiny sensors so easily embeddable
