Pressure-indicating Sensor Film Helps Eliminate Leaks And Aids Fluid Control In Hydraulics And Pneumatics

Pressurex^®, a tactile pressure indicating sensor film from Sensor Products Inc., is claimed to quickly and accurately measure surface pressure distribution and magnitude between any mating or contacting surfaces. In gasket and Oring seal assemblies, it profiles interfacial contact, showing how surfaces engage and deform under stress to create sealing flaws and inconsistencies. In hydraulics and pneumatics, it improves fluid power by diagnosing current and potential leakage areas in fittings, couplers and connectors.

Pressurex^® is used in design and manufacturing as well as in machine and component inspection.

It has proven successful in assessing surface contact irregularities in clamps, bolted joints, lamination presses, welding heads, and clutch and brake assemblies, among others.
