Abstract [en]
A fiber optic health-monitoring system for refractory lining in steel-making processes is presented. Its applicability as an early-warning system for lining damage is demonstrated by the results obtained in a field trial, in which 240 m of fiber was embedded in the lining of an electric arc furnace. The system is based on Raman distributed sensing and polyimide coated fibers in metal tube. The results presented from temperature cycling and calibration at temperatures up to 600 °C show that adequate accuracy and stability for the application can be attained.
