(Sensor Products: Madison, New Jersey) -- Sensor Products Inc. announces Pressurex Extreme Low, the newest addition to its tactile pressure-indicating sensor films. Pressurex Extreme Low characterizes contact surface pressure down to an extremely low 7.2 PSI (0.5 kg/cm²). The range is 7.2 – 28 PSI (0.5 – 1.97 kg/cm²). Pressurex is available in eight distinct pressure ranges. The highest pressure range reveals pressure as high as 18,500 – 43,200 PSI (1,300 – 3,000 kg/cm²).

Pressurex is coated on a Mylar-based sheet (4 or 8 mil), and is similar in appearance to paper. When placed between contacting surfaces, Pressuex film instantaneously and permanently changes color in direct proportion to the actual pressure applied. The precise pressure magnitude (PSI or kg/cm²) is easily determined by comparing color variation results to a color correlation chart (conceptually similar to interpreting Litmus paper).
