Pressure Indicating Films

Prescale™ film is used to measure contact pressures. The film structure consists of micro-encapsulated color forming and developing material. When pressure is applied to the film, a red color impression is formed in varying density according to the amount of pressure and pressure distribution. Prescale film is used in applications requiring: static pressure measurements visual […]

Prescale™ film is used to measure contact pressures. The film structure consists of micro-encapsulated color forming and developing material. When pressure is applied to the film, a red color impression is formed in varying density according to the amount of pressure and pressure distribution.

Prescale film is used in applications requiring:

  • static pressure measurements
  • visual pattern of peak pressure

Points to Consider When Determining the Right Solution for Pressure Measurement

If your application involves dynamic events or calls for evaluation of pressures over time, our Tactile Pressure Mapping Systems may be a better fit.

  • Static pressure measurement
  • High x-y resolution
  • One-time use
  • Film is available in rolls and can be cut to size
  • 7 available pressure ranges up to 30,000+ psi
  • Peak Pressure Snapshot
  • Optional Digital Analysis Software includes:
    • Pressure cross-section & analyzing specific points
    • Histogram analysis
    • Total weight distribution on bar graph
    • ASCII Output for additional data analysis
