Abstract:
The utilization of an optical fiber sensor for the measurements of water in oil has been demonstrated. Absorption of light by water in oil in the near infra-red region (850 to 1650 nm) is measured with low noise level. Further, measurements of water contamination in oil with a minimum level of detection of around 0.002% were performed.
