Abstract
A system and method for the remote measurement of physical parameters, comprising an optical fiber cable adapted to measure a physical parameter in a remote location, a conduit extending to the remote location and configured to accommodate the optical fiber cable, a cable installation mechanism configured to install the optical fiber cable through the conduit and place the optical fiber cable at the remote location, the cable installation mechanism including means for propelling a fluid along the conduit, and a seal between the optical fiber cable and the conduit.
Claims22
An apparatus for the remote measurement of physical parameters, comprising:
- an optical fiber cable comprising a sensor adapted to measure a physical parameter in a remote location;
- a conduit extending to the remote location and configured to accommodate the optical fiber cable;
- a cable installation mechanism configured to install the optical fiber cable through the conduit and place the optical fiber cable at the remote location, the cable installation mechanism including means for propelling a fluid along the conduit;
- and
- a seal between the optical fiber cable and the conduit.
A method of installing a cable at a remote location, comprising:
- providing an optical fiber cable comprising a sensor adapted to measure a physical parameter in a remote location;
- installing the optical fiber cable through a conduit to a remote location by using a cable installation mechanism which propels a fluid along the conduit;
- and
- sealing between the optical fiber cable and the conduit.
