New Product: Pressure Sensor Film

March 6, 2008

Pressurex is a tactile-pressureindicating sensor film that quickly and accurately measures surface- pressure distribution and magnitude between mating or contacting surfaces.

Printer-friendly version

In gasket and O-ring seal assemblies, it profiles interfacial contact, showing how surfaces engage and deform under stress and revealing sealing flaws and inconsistencies.

The product comes in thin, flexible plastic sheets and detects surface pressure from 2 to 43,200 psi. When loaded, it instantly and permanently changes color in proportion to the applied pressure. Comparing color intensity to a reference chart determines precise magnitude. It is also used to assess surface-contact irregularities in clamps, bolted joints, presses, welding heads, and clutch and brake assemblies. Free samples are available.

Pressure sensor film

On September 3rd, 2009 Mario Galea (not verified) says:

Dear sir,

I would like to test a vacum table for the amount of pressure that would be falling on the surface. The application is for the treatment of canvas paintings and as you may expect I would need to know what and how much pressure is being exerted on the surface of a typical canvas painting for a particular treatment. I would be interested to acquire samples of your film even against payment as I believe it should be just right for the application that I have in mind. Please send me the quote and the dimensions that the film is sold by. I would need to test some film for the application in question in order that I may make recommendatins to purchase the right quantity for our labs if this works the way I have found the product described on your web page.

many thanks,

regards,
