Sensor Products, Inc. (188 Rte. 10, East Hanover, NJ 0936; Tel: 973/884-1755, Fax: 973/884-1699) introduced Pressurex Pressure Points, tactile-force indicating films. Pressure Points represent a new cost-effective and convenient method of utilizing Pressurex sensor film. Pressurex is a useful metrology tool in assessing compressive magnitude and distribution between contacting or impacting surfaces. Applications exist in both machine/component inspection and calibration.
Each Pressure Point sensor film comes pre-packaged in a ready-to-use blister- sealed pouch. Pressure Points are available in sizes ranging from a 0.3-in. to 1-in. diameter. The pouch has a clear window on one side for viewing the pressure film and a pressure sensitive adhesive on the back enabling the sensor to be quickly and easily affixed to any surface.
The user simply places the Pressure Point sensor at a specific location of an interface. When force is applied, the sensor film instantaneously and permanently changes color. The intensity of this color is proportional to the amount of force applied, allowing the user to actually ...
