Filed:

Mar 9, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/077808

Inventors:

Alan Reynolds - Blacksburg VA, US

Assignee:

Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX

International Classification:

G02B 6/36

US Classification:

385 76, 385 86, 385139

Abstract:

An optical cable termination includes a termination body and a pressure test section. The pressure test section includes a body configured to be press fit, screwed or otherwise attached to an end of the termination body and at least one test port. The pressure test section allows for testing of the seal integrity of the termination at pressure prior to deployment. Optionally included with the termination is a boot seal having at least one tubular protrusion extending from a boot seal body, wherein the boot seal body is configured to receive an end of the fiber optic cable and then at least one tubular protrusion is configured to allow at least one optical fiber to extend therethrough. When using the boot seal, the termination also optionally includes an anti-extrusion plate disposed within the boot seal body, wherein the anti-extrusion plate is configured to allow at least one optical fiber to extend therethrough. A compression seal is also included between the termination body and pressure test section to seal directly onto the hermetic cable. The compression seal and pressure test section are also adapted to a Y-splice and a wellhead termination.

US Classification:

248560, 248610, 248618

Abstract:

An interferometer has its performance enhanced by being suspended in a housing that is optionally evacuated. The frame that supports the interferometer is secured to a cover for the housing with a plurality of studs having mechanical vibration isolators. The frame comprises a support flange with a foam layer beneath the interferometer. An optics tray is disposed above the interferometer and holds the assembly to the support flange. The fibers that are connected to the interferometer enter the side of the housing and the entry is sealed off to allow the interior of the housing to be evacuated.

International Classification:

G06F 19/00
G02B 6/00

US Classification:

702 11, 385 13

Abstract:

An apparatus for estimating at least one parameter includes: a deformable member configured to deform in response to the at least one parameter; a housing surrounding at least a portion of an external surface of the deformable member to define an isolated region around the portion and an isolated surface of the deformable member; and at least one optical fiber sensor disposed on the isolated surface and held in an operable relationship with the isolated surface, the at least one optical fiber sensor configured to generate a signal in response to a deformation of the deformable member.
