HydroResearch products

HydroResearch started using fibre optics for temperature measurements in 1998. Since then, distributed sensing has developed rapidly. Today, HydroResearch uses distributed sensing for acquiring temperature, acoustic and strain data. Together with our partner Silixa, which is the leading manufacturer of distributed sensing systems, we provide temperature and acoustic sensing systems. If you are interested in this technique for your application, please contact us.

For permanent monitoring we recommend Silixa Ultima DTS. The Ultima DTS range offers the finest temperature and spatial resolutions, from 0.01°C and 35cm. The range can be up to 35km for each channel, either 4 or 8 channels.

Silixa’s intelligent Distributed Acoustic Sensor (iDAS) records simultaneous measurement of acoustic amplitude, phase and frequency at every metre along 10s of kilometres long fibre, both singlemode and multimode. It has a frequency range from less than 1mHz to over 100kHz with a dynamic range of 120 dB. The performance of the iDAS allows for numerous application. More information available at Silixa iDAS.

We provide a wide range of fibre optic cables for different installation and measurement requirements. With experience from over 100 installations since 1998, we have good knowledge available to help you with your needs.
