PRESSURE
MEASUREMENT FILM
Prescale® film can precisely measure pressure, pressure distribution, and pressure balance. Red patches will appear on the film when pressure is applied and the color density changes according to the various pressure levels.
There are Eight types of Fujifilm Prescale® available to fulfill your varying pressure ranges. (0.87 – 7.3 PSI) (7.2 – 28 PSI) (28 – 85 PSI) (70 – 350 PSI) (350 – 1,400 PSI) (1,400 – 7,100 PSI) (7,100 – 18,500 PSI) (18,500 – 43,200 PSI)
What Our Customers Are Saying
Siemens
The report looks very good and exactly what I had asked for.
Procter and Gamble
I really appreciate the help you’ve given me. I needed a product from your company and you helped me identify exactly what would work.
Folgers Coffee
Thanks for the help with testing. It definitely helped show the difference between the two caps we are testing. That was one piece of information that gave us confidence to switch to the “v seal” cap.
Becton, Dickinson and Company
The pressure film is working great. The information on your website was very helpful.
GE Industrial Solutions
The analysis was Great! It helped give us a better view of the variation between the samples and certainly had more detail than we could extract from the basic color scale ourselves. I expect that we will utilize this analysis as we continue with development.
PRODUCT BENEFITS
- Easy visual check of distribution/uniformity for contact
pressure. - Contact pressure shown with differing concentrations of color can even be converted into numbers.
- Lower cost with no special devices or equipment required.
- Quick measurement gives an at-a-glance picture.

HOW TO USE
Directions for Using Fujifilm Prescale®
Prescale® is the only material in the world able to measure pressure!
Microcapsules are broken and react with a color developing agent when pressure is applied.
STEP #1
Cut Fujifilm Prescale® to desired dimension.
STEP #2
Insert Fujifilm Prescale® in desired location and apply pressure.
STEP #3
Remove pressure and film. Now, you can see and check its pressure/distribution.

PRESSURE CHART
EXAMPLE [LOW (LW) PRESSURE RANGE]
Continuous Pressure
Pressure measurement range: Low pressure (2.5~10MPa) Pressure application condition: Time to reach the pressure 2min. Time of retention at the pressure 2min.
Momentary Pressure
Pressure measurement range: Low pressure (2.5~10MPa) Pressure application condition: Time to reach the pressure 5sec. Time of retention at the pressure 5sec.
