Abstract
The measurement of the concentration of stock solutions, dilutions, oils, and water-soluble industrial fluids is of interest in many quality control industrial processes in order to check the concentration stability and abnormal aging effects. Off-line refractometers, such as the Abbe type, which offer a resolution of 0.2 percent, are commonly used. This paper presents an optical fiber long-period grating which has been tested for the refractometry of sodium chloride and calcium chloride aqueous solutions for a range of density varying from that of distilled water to that of a nearly-saturated condition.Keywords
