Pressure Recording Film

Bolted Joint Pressure Distribution (Made with Color Film)

Create an instant, permanent image of pressure variation. Commonly used to measure pressing forces in bolted joints, welding fixtures, and jigs.

0.008” thick film includes two 0.004” thick sheets that must be used together.

0.02” thick film cannot be cut.

Use the color chart (sold separately) with color image producing film to determine magnitude of pressure measurements.

Color sample pack includes a color chart and one 3" × 4" piece of film in each of these pressure ranges: 28-85, 70-350, 350-1,400, 1,400-7,100, and 7,100-18,500 psi.
