Abstract
A method for installing a fiber-optic sensor in a protective tube, wherein a reshapable filler element which is preferably a wire made of spring steel is used as the filler element that, when twisted assumes an essentially helical shape, is introduced into the protective tube essentially in parallel to the axis of the fiber-optic sensor, where by changing the shape of the filler element, the free internal cross-section of the protective tube remaining for supporting the fiber-optic sensor is reduced such that the sensor is pressed against the wall of the protective tube whereby the thermal interface between the protective tube and sensor is improved and the reaction time during temperature measurements is reduced.
