Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms
Vanmok Inc.
$700,000.00
Development of Non-Intrusive Optical Fiber Cable based Pressure Sensor
FY 2023-24 · 2023-07-01
Summary
Most conventional pressure transmitters require an opening into the pipeline to measure internal pressure. If the pipeline has already been built, it is very challenging to create an opening in the pipeline for installing a new pressure transmitter. The sensor developed in this project would allow pressure measurement anywhere along the pipeline.
Project would support Vanmok in achieving the following objective:
Develop a Non-Intrusive Pressure Sensor using Optical Fiber Cable sensor technology coupled with Internet of Things and artificial intelligence/Machine learning

Description
Most conventional pressure transmitters require an opening into the pipeline to measure internal pressure. If the pipeline has already been built, it is very challenging to create an opening in the pipeline for installing a new pressure transmitter. The sensor developed in this project would allow pressure measurement anywhere along the pipeline.
Project would support Vanmok in achieving the following objective:
Develop a Non-Intrusive Pressure Sensor using Optical Fiber Cable sensor technology coupled with Internet of Things and artificial intelligence/Machine learning
Description (French)
La plupart des transmetteurs de pression conventionnels nécessitent une ouverture dans le pipeline pour mesurer la pression interne. Si le pipeline a déjà été construit, il est très difficile de créer une ouverture dans le pipeline pour installer un nouveau transmetteur de pression. Le capteur mis au point dans le cadre de ce projet permettrait de mesurer la pression à n’importe quel endroit de la canalisation. Le projet aidera Vanmok à atteindre l’objectif suivant : Développer un capteur de pression non intrusif en utilisant la technologie de capteur de câble à fibre optique couplée à l’Internet des objets et à l’intelligence artificielle/apprentissage automatique.
