The CS SINGLE Patch is a surface-mounted fiber optic sensing solution with 1 FBG sensor. It is designed for rapid deployment on composite pressure vessels (COPVs).
- Surface-mounted FBG sensor
- Compact footprint: 120 mm ×
20 mm
- Ultra-fast installation: 1–2
minutes
- UV-cured bonding for reliable
attachment
- High-strain capability:
suited for burst testing
- Mountable in axial and circumferential direction
- Avoids FBG peak distortion (extensometer principle)
It enables reliable strain measurement without embedding sensors during manufacturing, making it ideal for retrofitting existing vessels.
Using the CS UV bonding methodology, the patch is installed in minutes while ensuring strong adhesion and accurate strain transfer, even in demanding test conditions.
The CS SurfPatch operates on an extensometer principle, with defined bonded anchor points that translate structural deformation directly into precise strain readings.
This makes it particularly effective for high-strain and failure testing scenarios where traditional sensors fall short.
Typical lead time: 5 to 10 days
