Accessories
Common accessories to a LIR system include the extension to a DFF S-series probe, a probe protection cap, a fiber optic extension cord, fiber optic cleaning supplies, and a digital thermometer for temperature calibration. A Lenterra sensor calibration kit is an optional instrument that calibrates DFF and RealShearᵀᴹ for the force or stress measurements and requires an LOI interrogator .

Probe extension
The extension increases the length of the S-series DFF probe holder. Standard lengths are 30, 60, or 120 cm. Standard adapters such as a flange adapter that accommodate the extension are available.

Probe protection cap
Every probe comes with a protective cap standard. Additional or replacement caps can be ordered separately. Available for any sensor type.

Fiber optic extension cord
Extension for the fiber optic cable between the probe and interrogator. Lengths of up to 200 meters are available.

Fiber optic cleaning supply
Optical receptacles on the interrogator front panel and on the fiber optic cable that is a part of the sensor require periodic maintenance. A set of cleaning supplies is included in every LIR package, and can be purchased separately. It consists of a reel cleaner for the cable connectors and a double-barreled cleaning tool for fiber optic receptacles.

Digital thermometer
required for sensor calibration for temperature.

Flushing adapter
An adapter for RealShearᵀᴹ that is required for periodic cleaning of the sensor. Included with every sensor purchase, and can be ordered separately.

Flushing kit
A kit for periodic cleaning of RealShearTM sensor. Included with every sensor purchase, and can be ordered separately.

Calibration kit
Lenterra Calibration Kit is used for obtaining calibration coefficients for a Drag Force Flow (DFF) sensor or RealShearTM sensor at customer facility. A Lenterra LOI interrogator and a host computer loaded with calibration software are required. Please see the User Guide for more information.
