Fiber Bragg grating weighing sensor of beam with two parallel holes

Due to the strains of fiber Bragg gratings mounted on the gauge hole of beam with two parallel holes excited by the weight, a fiber Bragg grating weighing sensor is developed. During the double differential operation of the relation shifts of Bragg wavelength of these four mounted gratings, the shifts of Bragg wavelengths caused by the temperature fluctuation and the bending moment caused by the deflection load can be compensated. The loading and unloading experiments indicate that the delay of grating weighing sensor is 0.28%FS, and the repetition is 0.32%FS. Through the least-square algorithm fitting, the load response sensitivity of grating weighing sensor is 9.992 × 10−6 kg f−1, and the fitting linearity is 0.6%FS. The temperature drift of grating weighing sensor is 0.02%FS/°C at the range of 20–60 °C. The fitting linearity is 1.5%FS under the action of deflection load.
