Overview
Reveal Hidden Surface Pressures with Precision Film
Discover the Fujifilm Prescale Super High Pressure Film, a tactile pressure sensor designed to visualize and measure surface pressure between contacting surfaces. This unique film provides an instantaneous and permanent color change, creating a detailed pressure map for analysis and archiving.
Specifications:
- Brand: Fujifilm
- Model: LYSB004TLKNOO-ELECTRNCS
- Type: Pressure Indicating Film
- Pressure Range: 18,500-43,200 PSI
- Dimensions: 1 ft. x 10.6 in.
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 18,500 - 43,200 PSI (1,300 - 3,000 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
- Instantaneous color response (sub-millisecond) captures dynamic pressure events — impacts, presses, and clamps — that load cells or strain gauges may not resolve spatially.
- Covers the full contact surface area, producing a spatial pressure distribution map rather than a single point measurement.
- Permanent color record allows physical archiving of pressure events without digital storage dependency.
- Roll format with cuttable film enables custom sizing for any contact geometry without waste of expensive sensor material.
- 18-month guaranteed shelf life provides procurement flexibility for lab and production environments.
👎 Cons
- The 18,500–43,200 PSI range is specific — applications outside this band require a different Prescale grade, and there is no visual indication if pressure fell below the minimum threshold.
- Quantitative readout requires either calibration chart comparison (subjective) or the Fujifilm FPD-8010E optical reader (additional cost and equipment).
- Single-use consumable — each measurement event requires fresh film, making high-frequency or iterative pressure testing costly.
- Film is sensitive to temperature and humidity during storage; improper storage degrades calibration accuracy before use.
- No electrical output — results cannot be fed directly into data acquisition systems without an optical scanning step.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the exact pressure measurement range of this Prescale film grade?
This is the Super High grade, calibrated for 18,500–43,200 PSI (1,300–3,000 kg/cm²). Fujifilm's Prescale line offers multiple grades — selecting the wrong grade for your application will produce either no color change (under-range) or saturated, unreadable results (over-range).
How is the pressure reading quantified from the color change?
Color intensity is directly proportional to applied pressure. Readings are interpreted by comparing the developed color to Fujifilm's calibration chart or by scanning the film and using Fujifilm's FPD-8010E optical measurement system for digital PSI/kg/cm² readout.
How quickly does the color change occur and is it reversible?
The color change is instantaneous — occurring in less than one millisecond upon pressure application — and is permanent. The film can be archived as a physical record or digitized for documentation.
Can the film be cut to custom shapes and sizes?
Yes. Prescale ships on a roll (1 ft. x 10.6 in. per sheet) and can be cut with scissors or laser to match the exact contact geometry of your application.
What is the shelf life of this film?
Fujifilm guarantees a minimum of 18 months of shelf life from the date of manufacture. Storage in temperature- and humidity-controlled environments extends usable life; heat and moisture accelerate degradation.
