Overview

The Fujifilm Prescale High Pressure (HS) film is a pressure-indicating sensor that reveals the distribution and magnitude of surface contact pressure between any two mating, touching, or impacting surfaces. When placed between two surfaces and compressed, the film undergoes a color change that ranges from light to dark in direct proportion to the pressure applied. This reaction occurs in less than a millisecond, making it capable of capturing data from high-speed impacts as well as sustained clamping forces. The resulting color map provides an intuitive, at-a-glance picture of where pressure is concentrated, where it is uneven, and where contact may be absent entirely.

This High Pressure grade covers a range of 7,100 to 18,500 PSI (500 to 1,300 kg/cm²), positioning it for applications such as bolted joint verification, press and die alignment, lamination nip pressure analysis, and heat seal bar inspection. The film ships on a roll measuring 1 foot by 10.6 inches and can be cut to any shape with scissors or a laser. Because the color change is permanent, the exposed film serves as a durable record that can be archived, photographed, or digitized with Fujifilm's analysis tools for precise PSI quantification. All rolls are guaranteed to retain at least 18 months of usable shelf life at the time of purchase.

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 7,100 - 18,500 PSI (500 - 1,300 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 immediate visual pressure map without electronic sensors or complex instrumentation
  • Sub-millisecond response captures pressure distribution from impacts and brief contact events
  • Thin, flexible film conforms to curved and irregular mating surfaces
  • Can be cut to any shape, fitting a wide range of application geometries
  • Permanent color record allows post-test analysis and documentation

👎 Cons

  • Each piece of film is single-use and cannot be reset or reused after exposure
  • Covers only the 7,100–18,500 PSI range — pressures outside this band require a different Prescale grade
  • Precise PSI readings require a separate densitometer or Fujifilm's analysis software to interpret color density
  • Roll dimensions of 1 ft by 10.6 in may require multiple pieces for larger contact surfaces
  • Film is sensitive to humidity and temperature, requiring controlled storage conditions

Frequently Asked Questions

When compressed between two surfaces, micro-encapsulated dye layers in the film rupture proportionally to the applied force, producing a color change whose intensity corresponds directly to the pressure magnitude.
Yes, the film comes on a roll and is thin enough to be cut with scissors or a laser to match the exact geometry of your application surfaces.
Yes, the color change is permanent and occurs in less than a millisecond, giving you a lasting record of the pressure distribution for later analysis.
This High Pressure (HS) grade covers 7,100 to 18,500 PSI (500 to 1,300 kg/cm²). Fujifilm offers other Prescale grades for lower or higher pressure ranges.
All rolls are guaranteed to have at least 18 months of shelf life remaining at the time of purchase when stored properly.
