Sensor Products Prescale Pressure Film Industrial Surface

Description

Product Overview

Sensor Products Prescale pressure film is an advanced industrial tool designed to characterize surface pressure between any two mating, touching, or impacting surfaces. This specialized film measures 16.4 feet by 10.6 inches and provides a comprehensive surface pressure map that illuminates actual pressure magnitude in precise PSI or kg/cm² units. The pressure range spans from 28 to 85 PSI (2-6 kg/cm²), making it suitable for various industrial applications where precise pressure distribution analysis is critical. The film operates through an instantaneous color change mechanism that occurs in less than a millisecond and remains permanent for accurate documentation and analysis.

Usage

Prescale pressure film is essential in industrial and scientific environments where understanding contact pressure distribution is crucial for product development, quality control, and troubleshooting. Engineers and technicians use this film to analyze pressure between mechanical components, manufacturing equipment, assembly fixtures, and various contacting surfaces. The film is particularly valuable in automotive manufacturing for checking gasket seating, in electronics for testing component contacts, and in packaging industries for verifying seal integrity. Research laboratories utilize Prescale for material testing and structural analysis where precise pressure measurement is required.

FAQ

How does Prescale pressure film work?

Prescale film contains microcapsules that rupture under pressure, releasing dye that creates a color change proportional to the applied pressure. The color intensity directly correlates with pressure magnitude, providing both quantitative and visual pressure distribution data.

What surfaces can Prescale film measure between?

The film works between any two mating, touching, or impacting surfaces including metal, plastic, rubber, and composite materials. It is effective for both flat and curved surfaces as long as there is direct contact between the surfaces being measured.

How long does the color change last?

The color change is permanent and does not fade over time, allowing for detailed documentation and analysis. The recorded pressure pattern remains visible indefinitely under normal storage conditions.

Can the film be reused?

Prescale film is designed for single-use applications since the color change mechanism is irreversible. Once the microcapsules have ruptured and created the pressure pattern, the film cannot be reset for additional measurements.

What is the shelf life of unopened Prescale film?

Unopened Prescale film maintains its full functionality for 18 months from the manufacturing date when stored in its original packaging at room temperature, protected from direct sunlight and moisture.
