Resumo: In this work we inferred a fluid flow seeping from a cooper pipe through thermometers scheme in different flows, through the use of optical sensors based on temperature Bragg Gratings written in optical fiber (FBG). We used a non-intruse measurement process through the use of thermometry, which consists of monitoring the temperature at two fixed points with a know distance (d) on the outer wall of the tube. Besides the optical sensors of temperature, sensors were used for commercial temperature, thermocouples, with the objective of comparing the results obtained experimentally. In the experiment, the fluid is flowing at a temperature T1, and will be released at any given time a small volume of fluid with temperature T2, were T2 > T1, simulating a thermal pulse. It's monitored the evolution of the thermal pulse and noted the transit time (t) between the two temperature sensors. With the value of distance (d) and transit time (t) we obtain the average velocity of flow (v). Tenure velocity (v) and the tube transversal sectional area (A) we can infer the non-intrusive measurement technique flow. The flow though the use of thermometry was tested for different flow regimes: laminar, transitional and turbulent. We compared the values measured with the mass flow of the system with the experimental values for the sensors and commercial FBG's. In the turbulent the accuracy of measuring the speed and fluid flow was 0.75 to 0.60 optical sensors and sensor for commercial purposes. Finally for the laminar accuracy in the measurements were 0.98 optical sensors and 0.76 for commercial sensors.
