Abstract
The fiber Bragg grating (FBG) strain sensor is used in the oil and gas derricks for the health monitoring. The system consisted of the FBG strain sensors, optical interrogator and monitoring software. 64 sensors were installed on a derrick for loading and unloading tests. The results showed that the monitoring system had the advantages of the high accuracy, good repeatability, large capacity and real-time monitoring ability.
