A system and method for mounting at least one strain sensor on a tubular pipe 201. The system comprising first and second mounting blocks 210, each positioned adjacent the outer surface of the pipe. A sensor mounting arm 220 is connected to each of the mounting blocks, each sensor mounting arm having a receptacle to receive an end of a stem rod 230, the stem rod having a longitudinal receptacle 234 configured to receive a strain sensor 202. A magnet 240 is located in a receptacle 242 on each of the mounting blocks. Each of the magnets 202 having a surface 244 positionable adjacent to an outer surface of the pipe 201. The magnets 240 are used to mount the mounting blocks to the pipe. The strain sensor may be a Fiber-Bragg grating or a Fabry-Pérot interferometer. |
