NK-Optical Fiber Temperature Information System: NK-OPTIS
NK-OPTIS : Optical Fiber Temperature Information System
A single optical fiber continuously measures in real time and clearly displays the temperature distribution of a wide area
NK-OPTIS is a temperature monitoring system that utilizes optical fibers as temperature sensors. Monitoring temperatures allows for the detection of potential disasters and accidents in plants and infrastructure facilities, contributing to predictive maintenance.
NK-OPTIS consists of three components: the optical fiber serving as a sensor, the DTS sensor system that measures long-distance temperature distribution based on the data collected by the optical fiber, and the GS-OPTIS (Graphic Software OPTIS), which visualizes the measurement data. GS-OPTIS graphically displays the temperature profile of the monitored range, including historical data and trend graphs.
NK-OPTIS is widely used abroad and has a proven track record in measuring temperature distribution in a wide range of fields. Specific applications include oil transportation pipelines, belt conveyors, chemical plants, geothermal facilities, tunnels, power cables for windfarm and solar power generation, and data center temperature monitoring.
DTS and GS-OPTIS detect temperature information from optical fibers
DTS (Distributed Temperature Sensing)
GS-OPTIS, a tool that visualizes monitoring results from the DTS, is an advanced graphic software for temperature monitoring. This software visualizes up to 800 sections with 16-color temperature displays, showing temperature distribution profiles, specific location temperatures, and trend graphs of temperature history. It also features extensive alarm functions, such as notifications for fiber breaks and temperature changes, enabling detailed monitoring.
Example of temperature monitoring in pipelines
Temperature monitoring of sulfur transport pipelines
