Sentinel-DTS - The Most Advanced DTS System Available Today
Sensornet has developed the Sentinel DTS range of systems which have the most advanced performance and are the most reliable distributed temperature sensing systems
available on the market today. The Sentinel-DTS system is available in different models covering a range up to 30km long. Combined with a temperature resolution of 0.01ºC at every meter interval, the Sentinel DTS offers a very effective tool for seepage monitoring along dams and dykes.
S
ensor Fibre and Cable
In the Sensornet distributed detection system, the fibre is the sensor. Sensornet has developed rigorous quality assurance systems to verify the effectiveness of the fibres that are packaged into detector cables. Special cables for dam applications have been tested in research projects carried out together with HydroResearch.
DTSS - Distributed Strain Sensing Systems
Sensornet has developed a unique capability to measure both temperature and strain along a fibre. The DTSS (Distributed Temperature and Strain Sensor) can be used with
specially designed strain measuring optical fibre cable for movement and subsidence monitoring along dams and dykes. The system has a range of up to 24km with 1ºC and 20*10^-6m and it is currently offered as a service.
