DTS Fiber Object The optical fiber used for distributed temperature surveys A human understandable name for the fiber. This is used for identification of the instance. The mode of fiber. Zero or more instances that allow other classifications to be assigned to the fiber. The type of coating on the fiber. The type of jacket covering the fiber. The inner diameter of the core, generally measured in microns (um). The diameter of the core plus the cladding, generally measured in microns (um). The diameter of the cable and all its sheathing, generally measured in microns (um). This is intended to be the diameter of the cable on the spool. The refractive index of the fiber. Also included is the frequency in Hz for which this refractive index is valid. There may be multiple instances of this element. The power loss (usually in decibels) per unit of length of the fiber. Also included is the frequency for which this loss is measured. There ay be multiple instances of this element. Additional parameters to define the fiber as a material. These should not be parameters to define the installation of the fiber in a well, or other system. This element should be used only if an appropriate parameter is not available as an element, or in the calibration operation. The spool number located on the particular spool. The spool number may contain alphanumeric characters. The length of the fiber on the spool when purchased. A fiber may go through several manufacturers for its various parts. The supplier is the final company in the chain that supplies the fiber to the end user. A fiber may go through several manufacturers for its various parts. The supplier is the final company in the chain that supplies the fiber to the end user. The model number (alphanumeric) that is used by the supplier to reference the type of fiber that is supplied to the user. Information about calibrations and quality checks that were performed on the cable at the factory. This is not to include calibrations that are run at installation time and at measurement time. A reference to a dtsInstalledSytem object that previously used the fiber. Unique identifier for the fiber.
