Pressurex® - For Low Pressure Applications
Pressurex® is a unique, affordable and easy to use tool that reveals
relative pressure distribution between two contacting, mating or impacting
surfaces. This pressure indicating sensor film is thin (20 mils) which enables
it to conform to curved surfaces. It is ideal for invasive intolerant environments
and tight spaces not accessible to conventional electronic transducers.
Simply place Pressurex® in between any two contacting or impacting
surfaces. Remove it and immediately see a grayscale pressure distribution
profile. The color intensity of the resulting image reveals the relative amount
of pressure applied to it. The greater the pressure, the darker the color. It is
designed with low contact pressures in mind.
When using Pressurex® in conjunction with our Topaq® imaging system,
the grayscale pressure distribution profiles are rendered into clear, easy to
interpret images within seconds. No additional training is required to the
system. The images are high resolution, full-color representations of pressure
distribution. Graphs and data accompany the view. This is the easiest and
most effective way to determine pressure distribution between mating surfaces.
