    Accuracy of Gabon fiber optic strain gauge

    The fiber-optic single-point strain data for loading and unloading changes of the beams of equal strength show good continuity and linearity, with good cyclic stability, and the error in the strain test data is less than 2% after repeated loading. In this paper, accuracy calibration experiments and the related analyses of two fiber-optic sensing technologies, the fiber-optic grating (FBG) and. Fiber optic sensor for strain measurements, and particularly FBG (Fibre Bragg Grating) sensors, has been used for the last 20 years, and they have built up a confidence in its performances. Fiber Optic Strain Gauges can collect data from thousands of points on a single fiber and provide the ability to capture real-time, spatially continuous data needed to meet the demands of modern engineering. As the basic application of fiber optic sensing technology, strain measurement accuracy as a key index needs to be further calibrated and analyzed. While both serve the same fundamental purpose, their principles of operation, advantages, and limitations differ significantly.
