Fujifilm Prescale® Film Placed Between a Connector Interface

Fujifilm Prescale® is a thin flexible mylar film that reveals pressure distribution between and magnitude between any two contacting or mating surfaces. Fujifilm Prescale can reveal if pins on connector interface are seating properly between male/female interfaces and what exertion level is required to effect closure and full connection.

Upon the application of force the microcapsules rupture, producing an instantaneous and permanent color change. Like Litmus paper, the color intensity of Fujifilm Prescale is quantifiable; the color intensity reveals precisely what pressure level (PSI or kg/cm2) was applied at any discrete point on the surface of the film.

Have you ever needed to evaluate pressure or force between two touching or mating surfaces? Previously, your only alternatives were strain gauges and load cells, that are both time consuming and difficult to interface. Now with the advent of our disposable one-time use pressure film, Fujifilm Prescale®, evaluating surface contact pressure distribution and magnitude is accurate, quick and highly economical.
