METHOD FOR THE INSTALLATION OF OPTICAL FIBRE SENSORS ALONG PIPELINES USED IN FLUID TRANSPORTATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for the installation of optical fibre sensors along pipelines used in fluid transportation characterized in that it comprises the phases consisting in applying at least one segment of adhesive (18) on a surface externally coupled with a pipe (13) along the longitudinal development of the pipe (13); and positioning, along at least one segment of adhesive (18), an optical fibre sensor (11) having a longitudinal development comprising a supporting body (14) containing at least one optical fibre (15a, 15b);'. In preferred embodiments, the segment of adhesive (18) is applied along a line parallel to the axis of the pipe (13), or according to a helicoidal development, coaxial to the pipe (13).
