Pressure-indicating sensor film

May 24, 2010

Pressurex® pressure-indicating sensor film from Sensor Products Inc. measures surface pressure distribution and magnitude between any mating or contacting surfaces.

In gasket and O-ring assemblies, it profiles interfacial contact, showing how surfaces engage and deform under stress to create sealing flaws and pressure inconsistencies. According to the manufacturer, the film improves fluid retention and power by diagnosing current and potential leakage areas in fittings, couplers, and connectors.

The sensor film comes in the form of a thin Mylar® sheet, physically similar in appearance to paper. It detects surface pressure from 2 to 43,200 PSI.
