Overview
Reveal Hidden Pressure with Precision Mapping
The Fujifilm Prescale Extreme Low (4LW) film offers a unique solution for visualizing and quantifying surface pressure distribution. This pressure indicating film instantly captures and preserves a pressure map, providing valuable insights for optimizing contact surfaces.
Specifications:
- Pressure Range: 7.2 - 28 PSI (0.5 - 1.97 kg/cm²)
- Dimensions: 1 ft. x 12.2 in.
- Technology: Color change indicates pressure magnitude
Key Features
Characterize surface pressure between any two mating, touching, or impacting surfaces. The dimensions of this film are 1 ft. x 10.6 in.
Prescale provides a surface pressure “map” that illuminates actual pressure magnitude (in precise PSI or kg/cm^2) and distribution between your two surfaces. The pressure range of this film is 7.2 - 28 PSI (0.5 - 1.97 kg/cm²).
Prescale reveals the contact surface pressure by virtue of a color change. This color change is instantaneous (less than a millisecond) and permanent
Prescale comes on a roll, is super thin, and can easily be cut from the supplied roll with scissor or laser to your precise application requirement
Included at no cost is the revised & updated Best Practices Guide to Handling & Applying Fujifilm Prescale . This booklet offers expert advice on storage, film preparation, use, and interpretation of results.
All films guaranteed to have 18 months of shelf life available.

Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Provides a visible surface pressure map, allowing for clear analysis of pressure magnitude and distribution.
- Offers precise pressure readings in both PSI (7.2 - 28 PSI) and kg/cm² (0.5 - 1.97 kg/cm²), ensuring accuracy.
- The color change indicating pressure is instantaneous (less than a millisecond) and permanent for easy evaluation.
- Comes on a super-thin roll, allowing it to be easily cut to exact application requirements with scissors or a laser.
- Includes a revised & updated Best Practices Guide, offering expert advice on handling, application, and interpretation.
👎 Cons
- The film has a specific pressure range of 7.2 - 28 PSI, limiting its use to low-pressure applications.
- The dimensions of 1 ft. x 10.6 in. per roll may be insufficient for very large surface area analyses.
- Requires visual interpretation of color change, which may introduce some subjectivity without digital analysis tools.
- The film is a consumable product, requiring re-ordering for continuous or multiple pressure assessments.
- Despite the best practices guide, precise application and interpretation may still require some user experience.
