Non invasive clamp sensor eliminate pipe penetration risks, prevent contamination in food and pharmaceutical processes, and enable rapid installation without welding permits or production downtime, making them ideal for UAE's stringent industrial safety and hygiene standards.

Simply clamp the sensor around the pipe using the integrated mechanism, configure pipe diameter and material through the built-in keypad, connect the 12-28V DC power supply, and verify readings, installation completes within seconds without specialized tools or pipe modifications.

Tempsens non invasive temperature sensor delivers ±2°C accuracy for metal pipes, with enhanced precision achievable through calibration procedures, providing reliable measurement performance comparable to invasive sensors for most industrial applications.

Distributed temperature sensors utilize a single piece of optical fiber to provide continuous temperature readings over the total length of the fiber and can be read at thousands of locations at once; in contrast,</p

and

thermocouples

A distributed temperature sensor offers continuous and real-time temperature measurements along its entire length (e.g., thousands of locations along the length) versus point temperature measurements provided by either RTDs or thermocouples. In addition, the distributed temperature sensor does not require multiple installations of sensors, has greater spatial resolution, is much easier to install because it requires far less wiring, and also provides higher safety in potentially explosive (hazardous) environments because it has no electrical devices within the sensing location.

Compared with individual temperature sensors, optical fiber DTS systems will cost significantly more to set up, they need advanced skill sets for both installing and interpreting the information generated using a DTS system, they can lose some degree of accuracy (or specificity) when getting measurements at the lengthiest distances from the fiber, and fibre optics are at risk when being installed (they could be broken), as well as having limitations on how hot they can withstand based on their specification marks (typically referred to as the 'standard ratings).

Fluorescent fibers are designed to monitor your Transformers, to detect Hot Spots on your Switchgears and measure Temperatures of High Voltage Equipment all in Extreme Ambient Temperatures around 50 Degrees Celsius within UAE Power Substations, Oil and Gas Facilities, Petrochemical Refineries and Desalination Plants.

Fluorescent Sensors are easy to use for a single point of measurement (±1°C) for temperature and are ideal for monitoring transformers and switchgear. Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) Sensors are multi-point or quasi-distributed sensors typically used over long distances for temperature profiling in pipelines and tank storage.

In the UAE, Fiber Optic Temperature Sensors must meet or exceed all criteria set under the IEC 61850 standard related to Substation Automation Communication as well as ATEX/IECEx Certification related to Hazardous Area Installation's and DEWA Technical Specs associated with Power Utility applications.

FBG sensors are capable of operating within a temperature range from -20 degrees Celsius up to 900° C, which is well within the extreme temperatures experienced by deserts. Additionally to their wide operating temperature range, FBG sensors provide stable measurements for applications in extreme desert environments. The thermal characteristics of the fiber optic material help protect the sensor from thermal degradation due to rapid temperature transitions associated with desert climates.

Typical temperature accuracy are ±1°C with an FBG sensor. The sensors have a large signal-to-noise ratio and therefore allow you to accurately detect minute changes in environmental conditions.

The cost of a fiber Bragg grating sensor will depend on the configuration of the channels, how many sensors you would like to install, the temperature ranges, and the length of the cable used to install the sensor. One of the ways that Tempsens provides value for customers is by offering affordable options for all types of monitoring applications, from single-point systems to complete multi-channel networks.

The Fiber Bragg Grating Sensor has a price point based on its channel configuration, amount of sensing points supported, temperature range and cable length. Tempsens have a competitive price offering that ranges from cost-effective single-point solutions up to full multi-channel networks designed for maximum value for all types of monitoring needs.

Wireless sensors use LoRa spread spectrum technology to monitor the temperature and report to a gateway without wires.

And those temperature sensors monitor either ambient temperature or surface temperature, and continually convert thermal data to digital data for analysis and alarms.

Some wireless sensors include ambient temperature sensors, surface-mount temperature sensors, probe temp-sensors, and multi-parameter sensors for environmental monitoring applications.

Tempsens heat flux sensors measure up to 800 W/cm² with Gardon gauge technology with custom ranges available to 5000 W/cm² for specialized high intensity applications.

Flux: the flow rate of energy passing through a given surface area.


heat flux: Thermal energy transfer rate per unit area over time, expressed in W/cm², W/m², or kW/m².

Heat flux is also called thermal flux, heat flow density, or the rate of heat transfer per unit area, within thermal engineering use.

Heat flux measurement is fundamental to process optimization, safety monitoring, energy efficiency assessment, and thermal system design for both industrial and research applications across the Gulf region.

Cooling options: Water cooling is recommended for measurements above 5 W/cm² lasting more than 5 minutes, or when sensor body temperature may exceed 200°C.

To measure heat flux, a custom sensor is placed onto the surface to measure differences in temperature and calculate output following this formula: Heat Flux (W/cm²) = Sensor Output (mV) X Sensitivity Factor (W/cm²/mV).

Our sensors provide ±3% to ±5% accuracy depending on the model, with repeatability of 2%.

All sensors provide 10mV linear output at full scale range with infinite resolution, requiring no external power supply.

Standard sensors measure total heat flux (radiation + convection). Radiometer versions with windows measure radiation only.

It depends on usage conditions. We recommend annual calibration for critical applications or after exposure to extreme conditions.

All sensors include manufacturer calibration certificates. ISO standard calibrations are available upon request.

Tempsens optic fiber temperature sensor systems include FluoroSenz for single-point measurements, BraggSenz using fiber Bragg grating technology, and DTSenz for distributed temperature sensing applications.

Tempsens optical fiber temperature sensor technology is based on the detection of change in the properties of light, these include fluorescent decay time or the shift in wavelengths due to temperature changes. Optical signals are converted to accurate temperature measurements.

Testing optical sensor systems includes calibrating the fiber optic temperature sensors against references, checking signal integrity on the optical sensor, and conducting environmental validation to ensure operational temperatures are measured effectively amidst any electromagnetic interference.
