Are you fully prepared to handle upcoming challenges in your temperature measurement (DTS) application?
Distributed Temperature Measurement (DTS) can measure the temperature along a fiber-optic cable that is up to 50 km in length. DTS is ideal for measuring the temperature distribution in power lines, high- or low-temperature liquid and gas pipelines and tanks, and other large facility and asset monitoring applications.
In the webinar you will learn how temperature detection with DTS avoids loss of revenue.
Leakage, accidents or malfunction means loss in production and thus loss of revenue.
Typical applications for DTS;
- Fire detection in conveyor systems and other extended linear applications
- Monitoring of the temperature profiles in multiple wells combined in series from a single monitoring unit
- Monitoring of the temperature distribution in long distance power lines
- Detection of liquid and gas leaks in pipelines and tanks
- Monitoring of the temperature of the outer walls of high-temperature furnaces used in the iron and steel, chemical, and other industries
- Monitoring of underground temperatures for unconventional oil and natural gas exploration and production
By detecting a fire or a system malfunction before major environmental damage occurs, the operator can significantly lower the risk profile to major environmental incidents. With DTS you can reduce risks and increase safety.
The sensing cable is based on passive sensing cables with a design life of over 30 years and maintenance costs are minimal. No (regular) recalibration is required. This is one of the reasons why DTS has a very low cost of ownership.
After the webinar, attendees will leave with a basic understanding of DTS technology and where and how they can use DTS for their temperature solutions in different applications.

Dwight Eldredge,
DTSX Product Manager - Yokogawa Corporation of America
Dwight Eldredge has worked in optical fiber since 1985, starting as a business unit manager for optical fiber splicing and cable accessories products with Sumitomo Electric Lightwave Corp in RTP, NC. In 1990 he joined Southampton-UK based York Technology responsible for sales and support of York's optical fiber and cable test and measurement systems in the Americas. He moved to the York Sensors division to support their commercial development activity with optical fiber sensing systems during the mid-1990's, including the oil & gas and electric utility industry applications and a US joint-venture project leading to the deployment of DTS on NASA's Space Shuttle orbiters.
Since 1998 he has held product and sales management positions at Alcatel and EXFO where he focussed on physical layer communications systems, including optical component and network test and measurement applications.
Dwight joined Yokogawa in September 2012 to support their DTSX optical fiber sensing product solutions and business development activities in North America.
