[Free sample available] The optical fiber is protected by a metal tube, making it highly resistant to environmental conditions and easy to install.
The optical fiber for distributed optical fiber sensing is strongly protected by various seamless metal tubes, making it highly resistant to environmental conditions and easy to install. 【Features】 ◎ The optical fiber is encapsulated within the metal tube in a state of positive excess length. → This prevents issues such as increased transmission loss and disconnection when using the sensor in high-temperature environments. ◎ Sensor application temperature range Low-temperature type: -196℃ to room temperature Room-temperature type: room temperature to +80℃ Medium-temperature type: room temperature to +200℃ High-temperature type: room temperature to +500℃ *Environment: Stainless steel or Inconel can be selected according to the applicable environment. *Additionally, it can be used for strain sensors and FTTH. ★☆★ Free samples available ★☆★ If you would like a free sample, please contact us with your intended use (planned application) using the contact information below.

Company information
Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation Welding Industry Division began developing metal tube optical fibers by applying welding material manufacturing technology in 1984, with the concept of "optical fibers that can be handled like electric wires," inserting optical fibers into thin, unseamless metal tubes. In 1988, they started selling the product under the name "PICOLOOP." Since then, they have responded to customer needs by releasing products such as "PicoFlex," which can be flexibly bent, and the portable "PicoDrum." Furthermore, recently, they have utilized the characteristic of optical fibers themselves acting as sensors, contributing to the construction, management, and maintenance of social infrastructure, as well as disaster prevention and security, thereby enhancing safety, security, and comfort in society.
