Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for monitoring the temperature of an oil tank with an optical fiber grating, which belongs to the technical field of optical fiber grating detection. Background technique [0002] According to the important property that the fiber grating can reflect light of a specific wavelength, the fiber grating will reflect light of different wavelengths under different temperature, medium and other conditions. Using the property of the fiber grating to use the fiber grating as a sensor temperature and other sensing systems has been It is widely used in many fields of production and life. During storage of petroleum products, due to the characteristics of thermal expansion of oil, as the temperature rises, the volume of oil in the tank will expand due to heat. Crude oil must have a certain storage time in the storage tank of the oil depot. With the increase of time, the temperature of crude oil will gradually drop, and its temper...
