consists of a thin film consisting of micro-encapsulated colour forming material and colour developing material. A red colour impression of varying density is formed according to the amount of pressure and pressure distribution.  Prescale can be used to measure linear and planar contact pressures up to 300 MPa (43,500 psi) in either moving or stationary applications.

How to use
Select appropriate Prescale according to pressure level.

Properties

Two-sheet Type (Ultra super-low pressure:  LLLW~Medium pressure: MW)
Cut two Prescale films appropriately. (A-film in black poly sack & C-film  in blue poly sack).
Face the rough surfaces of each film and insert the films where you want to measure pressure.
Apply pressure. Red patches appear on the film and the colour density changes according to pressure level.
Take out the C-film, see and check the pressure distribution. For further precise pressure values use the pressure analyzing system.

Mono-sheet type (Medium pressure: MS~Super high  pressure: HHS)
Cut Prescale film in black poly sack appropriately.
Insert the film where  you want to measure pressure.
Apply pressure. Red patches appear on the film and the colour density changes according to pressure level.
Take out the film, see and check the pressure distribution.
For further precise pressure values use the pressure analyzing system.
