%X Simple experiments for calibrating Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) in order to measure strain and temperature have been successfully demonstrated in this study. This will allow convenient use of FBG sensor in the laboratory for measuring quantities. Linear curve fittings were employed for both the strain and temperature, and R2 values are determined respectively. The result showed a perfect correlation between FBG, strain and temperature. The approach can be employed with ease, simplicity in an inexpensive manner, in order harness the advantages offered by FBG sensors such as accuracy, precision, speed and high resolution. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2018. %K Electric sensing devices; Environmental engineering; Materials testing; Offshore oil well production, FBG sensor; High resolution, Fiber Bragg gratings %D 2018 %R 10.1051/matecconf/201820304001 %O cited By 4; Conference of 2018 International Conference on Civil, Offshore and Environmental Engineering 2018, ICCOEE 2018 ; Conference Date: 13 August 2018 Through 14 August 2018; Conference Code:140464 %J MATEC Web of Conferences %L scholars9982 %T Preliminary View of a Smart Technique for Materials Testing in the Laboratory using FBG Sensor %A I.W.
