Standard Terminology Relating to Optical Fiber Sensing Systems
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
3.1 Definitions in this standard are to be regarded as correct for the terms found in other ASTM standards of Committee F36. Certain terms may be found in more than one standard issued under the jurisdiction of this committee and many of these terms have been placed in this standard.
SCOPE
1.1 This terminology standard is a compilation of definitions of technical terms related to optical fiber sensing systems, used in the various sections of standards under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F36.
1.2 Where possible definitions are stated as a single sentence, with necessary supplementary information as a Discussion. This approach is used to simplify explanations of the meanings of technical terms for the benefit of those not conversant with them, to facilitate a precise understanding and interpretation of F36 ASTM standards.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
