Pressurex Zero tactile pressure-indicating sensor film characterizes tactile contact surface pressure down to 7.2 psi (0.5 kg/cm
2). Is flexible and placed between contacting or mating surfaces to measure and map pressure magnitude and distribution. Variations in contact surface pressure are said to be immediately visible by the impression made on the film; spatial resolution is fine enough to expose minute surface defects and other imperfections. Ranges from 7.2 to 28 psi. Comes as a thin, clear plastic sheet; is available in eight different pressure ranges with highest measuring impact up to 43,200 psi. Changes color directly proportional to the actual pressure applied. Can be scanned through an optical imaging system. Is used in design, manufacture, calibration and quality control. Is said to be ideal for invasive, intolerant environments and tight spaces not accessible to conventional electronic transducers.
