We propose to monitor the liquid-solid and gas-liquid phase transition of water based on FBG sensors. The naked FBGs and the packaged FBG temperature sensors are used to monitoring the liquid-solid phase transition of water at the same time in order to find its characteristics, including the supercooling state and the strain and pressure change introduced by the phase transition. Fourteen FBGs are packaged and arranged in a steam boiler in order to monitor the gas-liquid phase transition, including the temperature and pressure change inside the steam boiler and the strain of the boiler wall. The preliminary experimental results are demonstrated here.
