Abstract
Fiber optics offers unique advantages to those industries utilizing microprocessors, distributed control, and even conventional control in hostile environments. The petrochemical industry is a prime candidate for fiber optics (FO) applications. The present status of fiber optics in the petrochemical industry is defined as are problems which may impede its growth. Examples of typical applications are included for classified areas, motor interlocking, and microcomputer control.
