Pressure Recording Film

Create an instant, permanent image of pressure distribution and magnitude. These sheets of film help you identify uneven pressure that can lead to leaks and stress fractures. Use them between any two surfaces that touch each other, such as bolted joints, welding fixtures, and jigs. Tiny capsules within the film burst at specific pressure levels, causing the film to change color. This produces an instant map of pressure variation, similar to a heat map. For a custom size, cut the film with scissors.

Pressure Film


Impression Record Before Analysis

Film that includes two sheets must be used together.

Color Correlation Manual—Use a color correlation manual (sold separately) with pressure film to determine the magnitude of the pressure measurements. The manual includes best practices and color correlation charts to help you match the colors on your film readout to the correct values.

After Analysis

Film that includes two sheets must be used together.

Pressure variance analysis kits include a sheet of pressure film and instructions on how to send your film to the manufacturer for analysis. The manufacturer runs the analysis through specialized software. This software gives you more accurate results than the color correlation manual. Within a few days of sending your sample in, you’ll receive an email with a full report on the force distribution and magnitude.

Glue-on-a-Roll

Apply this glue-like tape for a no-mess alternative to liquid adhesives, hot melts, and staples. Also known as adhesive transfer tape, these rolls have a thin film of pressure-sensitive glue on a peel-away liner. They are thinner and more conformable than tape with adhesive on both sides.

Model Number 467MP and Model Number 468MP—467MP and 468MP resist solvents and UV rays.

Model Number 9082 and Model Number 9085—9082 and 9085 can work in the highest temperatures. They’re a good choice for use under the hood of a piece of equipment or on a circuit board you’re soldering.

Model Number 9482PC and Model Number 9485PC—9482PC and 9485PC are a good choice for precise applications, even on slippery plastics. They're reinforced with fiber so they keep their shape and don’t ooze out, unlike softer adhesives.

MIL-P-19834 Type I—Rolls that meet MIL-P-19834 Type I are certified to withstand movement between parts and insulate against electric current for military and aerospace applications.

ASTM E595—Rolls that meet ASTM E595, a standard set by NASA, will produce almost no volatile emissions, even in a high vacuum.

FDA Compliant 21 CFR 175.105—FDA-compliant rolls are safe for indirect contact with food.

Paper Pressure Analyzers


	Windows Compatible Software

Take lab-quality scans of pressure recording film for frequent onsite measurements. These analyzers detect color changes in the film to spot issues that can cause leaks and stress fractures. They’re often used with bolted joints, metal stamping, and nip rollers to measure and adjust for uneven pressure when setting up a new job. They’re also known as TOPAQ analysis systems. The scanner comes calibrated for reading pressure recording film.

This is not a finite element analysis (FEA) tool. While an FEA tool uses models to predict stress and potential failures, these evaluate pressure based on your actual system. This means you’re more likely to catch issues caused by material imperfections, environmental conditions, and other real-world factors.

Windows Compatible Software—The included software renders color pressure images in detail for more accurate results than visual inspection with a color correlation manual. You can create 3D images, grids, and graphs. Zoom in for a closer look at the pressure distribution throughout your system.

High-Strength Glue-on-a-Roll

The 3M VHB adhesive on these rolls offers a strong hold that can replace rivets, spot welds, and other permanent fasteners. Also known as adhesive transfer tape, these rolls have a thin film of pressure-sensitive glue on a peel-away liner. They’re more conformable than tape with adhesive on both sides.

Model Number F9473PC—F9473PC are our thickest option, so they’re the best at adhering to gaps and crevices on uneven surfaces.

Conductive Adhesives for Electronics

An alternative to solder, these flexible, silver-filled adhesives accommodate joint movement. Use them to bond electrical components and repair circuits.

Plastic

Strip with Adhesive on

One Side

Plastic adhesives are one-part adhesives that don’t need to be mixed. Dry to the touch and faster and easier to apply than two-part adhesives, they’re best for use on automated assembly lines. Often used to join solar cells in solar panels, these adhesives make instant electrical connections without flux at lower temperatures than soldering. Since they attach to solar cells with heat and slight pressure, they limit stress cracks that can form when soldering. These adhesives can also be used as a bridge between multiple solar panels.

Glue-on-a-Roll for Dispensing Guns

Designed for use with 3M dispensing guns, these rolls have a thin film of pressure-sensitive glue on a peel-away liner. They are thinner and more conformable than tape with adhesive on both sides. Also known as adhesive transfer tape.

Model Number 928—928 has a permanent adhesive on one side and a removable adhesive on the other.

Model Number 969—969 is a high-tack glue that bonds quickly to glossy coatings and plastics.

Plastic

Plastic adhesives create an instant bond, so they’re the best choice for automated assembly lines. The bond is weaker than that of epoxy and cyanoacrylate adhesives, but it’s sufficient for attaching heat sinks. Since they remain tacky, you can detach and reposition parts.

ASTM E595—Adhesives that meet ASTM E595, a standard used by NASA, release almost no volatile emissions that could damage sensitive electronics, even in a vacuum.

Conductive Glue-on-a-Roll

Attach EMI/RFI shields and gaskets to electronics housings—these rolls are loaded with conductive fibers. Also known as adhesive transfer tape, they have a thin film of pressure-sensitive glue on a peel-away liner. Unlike screws, they won’t leave gaps for EMI to get in. They’re also more conformable than tape with adhesive on both sides.
