Abstract

Testing of oil viscosity sensor based on plastic optical fiber by using bending angle variation method to enhance the sensor sensitivity. This sensor is made by forming an optical fiber bending angle, it is dipped into the oil viscosity liquid. The light transmitted through into the optical fiber will be received by the photodetector and the measurement results are displayed on the OPM in the form of output power. The best measurement obtained at the bending angle of 30 0 with value of sensor sensitivity is 1.013 nW/mPa.s. This method has the advantage of high sensitivity in a simple measurement process.

Summary

Introduction

The growing use of optical fiber technology has a good impact on sensor applications in various monitoring fields. Research about sensor based on plastic optical fiber for measuring oil viscosity has been developed in application of sensor based on temperature change. This sensor is used to measure the oil viscosity on the extrinsic system design using the back scattering method. The back scattering method was developed to measure the oil viscosity on the intrinsic system design in sensor sensitivity testing. Research will be developed on sensor sensitivity testing in measuring the oil viscosity level based on plastic optical fiber by using the bending angle variation method. This research is expected to be able to produce high sensor sensitivity in a simple measurement process
