AP Sensing is your global solution provider for linear heat detection in special hazard applications. Based on a proven track record our distributed temperature sensing solution (DTS) ensures reliable asset protection even in the most challenging environments.

The heart of our DTS solution is based on key technologies developed by HP/ Agilent Technologies, the world leader in optical test and measurement for over 25 years.

Building on HP/Agilent’s processes and knowledge, we have established ourselves as the leading solution provider for linear heat detection in a wide range of applications.

We understand your fire protection challenges, especially when your facility is exposed to harsh environmental conditions. AP Sensing’s Linear Heat Series minimizes your operational costs and performs with maximum reliability. Safety systems demand highly reliable and quick fi re detection.

Larger facilities have challenging installation and commissioning requirements and higher maintenance efforts.

AP Sensing addresses these problems by using a standard fi ber optic cable as a precise, distributed heat sensor. Our Linear Heat Series measures an accurate temperature profi le every few seconds along a fi ber optic cable, up to several thousand meters.
