Fujifilm Prescale Medium MS Pressure Mapping Film

Fujifilm Prescale Medium (MS) is a pressure-indicating film designed to reveal the distribution and magnitude of surface contact pressure between any two mating surfaces. The system works on a simple principle: place the thin film between the surfaces, apply pressure, and the film develops a color map where intensity corresponds to pressure magnitude. This makes it an invaluable diagnostic tool for verifying gasket seals, checking nip roller uniformity, validating bolted joint contact, and troubleshooting lamination or stamping processes. The Medium grade covers a pressure range of 1,400 to 7,100 PSI, positioning it for a broad range of industrial and engineering applications.

Unlike electronic pressure sensors that require wiring, calibration, and data acquisition hardware, Prescale film delivers results immediately with zero setup. The 3-foot by 10.6-inch roll can be cut to match any surface geometry, and the resulting pressure image is a permanent physical record that can be filed, photographed, or digitized for quantitative analysis. For teams that need precise numerical data, the color density can be analyzed with Fujifilm's dedicated software or compatible third-party tools to extract pressure values across the contact area. This combination of simplicity, portability, and accuracy has made Prescale a standard diagnostic tool in manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and research environments worldwide.
