Fibers Sensing fibers are non-electronic, light-transmitting, optical- Q23/QH23 page 90 quality glass or plastic strands encased in cladding that reflects light to the core. Fibers transmit and/or receive light from the QM42 page 136 LED of a sensor. Glass fibers are arranged in bundles, and plastic fibers are typically packaged as monofilaments with a Q45 page 142 page 142 protective jacket of polyethylene, PVC, stainless-steel braid or other material. Fiber sensing tips have a wide variety of shapes and configurations. OMNI-BEAM page 155 page 155 When to Use Fiber Systems D10 page 166 Confined areas. The small size and flexibility of fibers allows precise positioning where space is limited. D12 page 172 page 172 High temperatures. Fiber optic assemblies can tolerate elevated temperaturesin some cases as high as 480 C. R55F page 177 page 177 High vibration and shock. The low mass of fibers enables them to withstand extreme vibration and mechanical shock. FI22 page 180 Corrosive and wet environments. Special purpose fibers withstand corrosive materials, moisture and even D11 page 32 repeated washdown. Explosive environments.
