Distributed Temperature Sensor (Ultima)
World's highest performance DTS
Silixa has recently released the world’s highest
performance DTS. The Ultima has a sampling resolution of 12.5cm and a spatial resolution
of just 25cm – 30cm. Even with this breakthrough spatial resolution (all other DTSs have
a spatial resolution in excess of 1m) the Ultima matches the very best alternative units
for temperature resolution, achieving a resolution better than 0.01°C. Further, the Ultima
is optimised for high temperature measurements and has been successfully tested on fibres at
temperatures above 700°C, achieving a 29cm spatial resolution over a step transition from 25°C
to 700°C.
