Overview
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 1,400 - 7,100 PSI (100 - 500 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
The color intensity of the film is directly related to the amount of pressure applied to it
All films guaranteed to have 18 months of shelf life available.

Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Provides an instant, permanent visual map of pressure distribution across a surface
- Super-thin design conforms to tight spaces between mating or impacting surfaces
- Can be easily cut from the roll to fit any application shape or size
- No electronic equipment or power source required to obtain pressure readings
- Measures both pressure magnitude and distribution simultaneously in a single test
👎 Cons
- Covers only the 1,400–7,100 PSI range, so separate film types are needed for pressures outside this window
- Single-use film that cannot be reset or reused after pressure is applied
- Color interpretation requires a reference chart or densitometer for precise PSI values
- Results can be affected by temperature and humidity if not stored properly
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Fujifilm Prescale MS film indicate pressure?
The film contains microcapsules that rupture under pressure, releasing a color-forming material. The resulting color intensity corresponds directly to the amount of pressure applied, giving you a visual pressure map.
Is the pressure indication permanent or temporary?
The color change is permanent and occurs in less than a millisecond, so you can analyze the results at your convenience after testing.
Can the film be cut to fit specific applications?
Yes, Prescale comes on a roll and is thin enough to be cut with scissors or a laser to match your exact application requirements.
What is the pressure range of the MS (Medium) film?
The MS film measures pressure between 1,400 and 7,100 PSI (100–500 kg/cm²). Fujifilm offers other Prescale variants for lower or higher pressure ranges.
What is the shelf life of Prescale film?
All Prescale films are guaranteed to have at least 18 months of shelf life remaining at the time of purchase.
