Film offers static or dynamic pressure
measurement
When pressure is applied to the Prescale film, microscopic bubbles within the sheet burst, and a red colour impression is formed in varying intensity according to the level of pressure(s) present.
Tekscan has released Prescale pressure indicating film As Tekscan's President, Steve Jacobs, explains, "The addition of Prescale film rounds out our product range, offering our customers an even wider variety of pressure measurement options"

"Whether the customer needs static or dynamic pressure measurements, single or multi-use sensors, a peak-pressure snapshot or detailed data analysis, Tekscan can provide the optimal solution".
When pressure is applied to the Prescale film, microscopic bubbles within the sheet burst, and a red colour impression is formed in varying intensity according to the level of pressure(s) present.
The film is ideal for static applications to show pressures from as low as 3 bar to as high as 3kbar.
For dynamic applications where pressures need to be recorded over time, Tekscan can recommend an appropriate Tekscan Pressure Mapping System, complete with data acquisition electronics, Windows-based software, and appropriately-sized piezoresistive sensors.
With Tekscan's I-Scana system, for example, there are over 75 standard sensor shapes in varying sizes from which to choose.
Prescale Pressure Indicating Film is an intuitive, easy to use product, which provides an immediate impression of pressure intensity and variance over a surface, giving the user a quick picture of high and low-pressure areas.
The film is available in rolls and can be quickly cut to the appropriate shape or size.
Tekscan is also offering the film by the foot, or in sample packs containing six sheets: one sheet in each of the six offered pressure ranges.
