The invention discloses an external sheath of an
optical fiber hydrophone array, and belongs to the technical field of
submarine communication. The array comprises a main body woven by 316L stainless steel wires, and the main body wraps the outermost layer of the array. The
diameter of the
stainless steel wire is 0.1 mm-0. 3mm, the deviation is smaller than or equal to + / -0.01 mm, the
nickel content is larger than or equal to 10%, the
chromium content is larger than or equal to 16%, an oxidation film of 5 microns to 10 microns is formed on the surface through
passivation treatment, and the salt spray
corrosion resistance is larger than or equal to The woven layer adopts special-shaped and / or variable-
diameter weaving, the density of the wear-resistant section is 120-140 / 10cm, the density of the light-weight section is 80-100 / 10cm, and a 0.1-0.2 mm hydrogenated
nitrile rubber buffer layer is arranged on the inner side of the wear-resistant section. Compared with a traditional structure, the weight is reduced by 60%-70%, the
wear resistance is improved by 50%-70%, the
weight change rate is smaller than or equal to 0.1% after the cable is soaked in
seawater for 30 days, the cost is reduced by 20%-30%, and the cable is suitable for multi-scene
underwater detection.
