Pressurex® - Pressure indicating film
- Extremely thin
- Ideal for curved surfaces
Pressurex is a unique, affordable and easy to use tool that reveals the distribution and magnitude of pressure between any two contacting, mating or impacting surfaces.
Pressurex is extremely thin (4 to 8 mils) which enables it to conform to curved surfaces. It is ideal for invasive intolerant environments and tight spaces not accessible to conventional electronic transducers.

Installation
Simply place Pressurex® film between any two surfaces that will touch, mate or impact. It immediately reveals the pressure distribution profile that occurs between the surfaces. Moreover, the color intensity of Pressurex® film is directly related to the amount of pressure applied to it. The greater the pressure, the more intense the color.
