New sensor film accurately measures contact force


Like Litmus paper, the color that Pressurex film turns has significance - it is directly related to pressure (psi), and can be visually compared to our color correlation chart or scanned with Pointscan, or color mapped with Topaq to determine pressure distribution and magnitude.
Pressurex® - a thin sensor film that, by changing color, reveals stress distribution and magnitude between any two surfaces that come in contact. The intensity of the resultant color is quantifiable and enables you to determine precisely what the PSI is at any point on the contacting surfaces. Film color translates to pressure by comparison to a color calibration table or by utilizing an optional imaging system. This product is useful for assessing interfacial stresses that occur at gasketed and flanged interfaces, in any kind of bolted joint or clamp, in lamination presses, roller systems and heat sealers, during welding, in materials testing and from impact forces.

Please contact us for a FREE sample of pressure film. In your email please briefly describe your application. It is also imperative that you include your address, phone and fax in the body of your email response. Without it we cannot process your request.
