How to seal a fiber optic sensor
The most common fiber splice closure sealing methods include heat-shrink, mechanical, and gel-based sealing. We detail a study of the techniques and sealing materials for optical fiber sensors used in dynamic environments with high pressure (>300 bar) and high temperature (>300 °C). One simple and efective way to protect these systems in land, sea, air and space environments is to make sure they are properly sealed against the envir connection points is undeniable, not all seals are created equal. It involves the use of a low temperature (320 ̊C) glass preform which seals directly to.
