Sensor Film Measures Very Low Contact Pressures

You’ve wanted a more sensitive pressure sensor.  Now, one has arrived.  Pressurex Zero® is a new sensor film that characterizes tactile contact surface pressure down to an extremely low 7.2 PSI (0.5 kg/cm2).  The flexible film can be placed between contacting or mating surfaces to instantly and accurately measure and map pressure magnitude and distribution.  Variations in contact surface pressure are immediately visible by the impression made on the film. The spatial resolution of the film is fine enough to expose minute surface defects and other imperfections.  The range for Pressurex Zero® is 7.2 – 28 PSI (0.5 – 1.97 kg/cm2). Read more
