Overview
Reveal Surface Pressure with Precision
Fujifilm Prescale Medium Pressure (MS) film is a unique pressure indicating film that reveals surface pressure distribution between contacting surfaces. This tactile sensor film provides a pressure map by changing color in response to applied pressure, allowing for precise measurement and analysis. Ideal for various applications, including heat seal planarity, roller set parallelism, and clamping forces.

Key Features
Characterize surface pressure between any two mating, touching, or impacting surfaces. The dimensions of this film are 32.8 x 10.6 in. (10m x 270mm).
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 a clear surface pressure map between mating surfaces, showing both magnitude and distribution of pressure.
- Offers an instantaneous and permanent color change upon pressure application, allowing for quick analysis (less than a millisecond).
- Comes on a roll that can be easily cut to precise application requirements using scissors or a laser, ensuring versatility.
- Reveals pressure magnitude in precise PSI or kg/cm², offering quantitative data for detailed analysis.
- Guaranteed to have 18 months of shelf life, providing ample time for use across multiple projects.
👎 Cons
- The film has a specific pressure range of 1,400 - 7,100 PSI, which may not cover extremely low or high-pressure applications.
- One roll measures 32.8 ft x 10.6 in, which may be too much material for very small, infrequent projects, leading to potential waste.
- Requires careful handling and interpretation to accurately assess pressure distribution from the color intensity.
- The effectiveness relies on direct contact between two surfaces, limiting its use in non-contact pressure sensing applications.
- While revealing pressure, it does not provide real-time digital readouts, relying instead on visual color interpretation.
