Pressure Measurement Film for Precise Pressure Distribution Analysis

Visualizing Surface Pressure Quickly, Precisely and Cost-Effectively

Accurate pressure distribution measurement is essential in many industrial applications. Uneven surface pressure can lead to production defects, premature wear, leakage problems or reduced product quality.

Pressure measurement films from Kager Industrieprodukte GmbH provide a fast, precise and economical solution for visualizing pressure distribution across contact surfaces.

These highly sensitive pressure indicating films offer a cost-effective alternative to complex electronic pressure measurement systems and are ideal for industrial quality control, process optimization and laboratory applications.

How Pressure Measurement Films Work

Pressure indicating films visualize applied pressure through a color-changing reaction. The intensity of the color directly corresponds to the amount of pressure applied.

Single-Layer Pressure Film

In the single-layer version, color-filled microcapsules and a developer are integrated into one film layer. Under pressure, the capsules burst and create a visible color reaction.

The color intensity allows the applied surface pressure to be evaluated quickly and easily.

Two-Sheet Pressure Film

In the two-sheet version, the first layer contains microcapsules of different sizes. Under pressure, these capsules rupture and release a reactive liquid that interacts with the color-developing layer of the second sheet.

This creates a pressure-dependent red coloration that enables highly precise pressure analysis, especially in lower pressure ranges.

Evaluating the Pressure Measurement

The color intensity is evaluated using a calibrated color scale and pressure-density diagram.

Step 1: Temperature and Humidity Correction

Environmental conditions such as temperature and relative humidity are first considered to determine the correct pressure response curve.

Step 2: Determining Color Density

The developed coloration is compared with a standard color scale to determine the density value.

Step 3: Calculating the Pressure Value

Using the selected curve and density value, the actual pressure in MPa or N/mm² can be determined.

The resulting force can then be calculated by multiplying the pressure by the colored contact area.

Available Pressure Ranges

Our pressure measurement films cover a wide range of applications:

Film TypeMeasuring Range
Ultra Super Low Pressure0.2 – 0.6 N/mm²
Super Low Pressure0.5 – 2.5 N/mm²
Low Pressure2.5 – 10 N/mm²
Medium Pressure10 – 50 N/mm²
High Pressure50 – 130 N/mm²
Super High Pressure130 – 300 N/mm²

The films provide a high spatial resolution of up to 0.1 mm.

Advantages of Pressure Measurement Films

  • Fast and easy pressure visualization
  • Identification of pressure peaks
  • Cost-effective alternative to electronic sensors
  • No power supply required
  • High measurement resolution
  • Ideal for quality assurance and process optimization
  • Suitable for laboratories and industrial production

Typical Applications

Pressure measurement films are commonly used for:

  • Pressure distribution analysis
  • Roller alignment
  • Tool setup optimization
  • Surface contact inspection
  • Sealing pressure verification
  • Lamination processes
  • Battery and fuel cell production

Blood Bag Temperature Monitoring: The Hemo Temp II Indicator from KAGER

In medical technology, pharmaceutical logistics and hospital management, reliable temperature monitoring of blood bags is essential to ensure the safety and usability of blood products.

Even minor deviations from the required storage temperature can compromise the quality of blood components.

With the Hemo Temp II indicator, KAGER provides a simple and reliable solution for thermal validation of blood bags during transport and storage.

Reliable temperature indicator for blood transport

The self-adhesive Hemo Temp II measuring strip, part of the KAGER Medical Line (KML), allows quick visual monitoring of the core temperature of blood bags.

The four-level temperature scale clearly indicates whether the temperature remains within the safe range:

  • 1–3 °C
  • 4–6 °C
  • 7–9 °C

This makes it easy to verify whether the critical temperature threshold of 10 °C has been exceeded during storage or transport.

The indicator is applied directly to the blood bag before shipment and monitors the temperature during the entire logistics process.

Clover symbol signals temperature threshold breach

To activate the indicator, KAGER provides a compact incubator device capable of heating up to twelve labels simultaneously to 42 °C within 60 seconds.

This process activates a thermochromic liquid crystal inside the indicator and reveals a blue clover symbol on the display scale.

This symbol confirms that the indicator is ready for use.

A key feature:

  • The temperature display is reversible
  • The clover symbol is irreversible

If the clover remains blue, the temperature limit has not been exceeded.

If the symbol turns grey or disappears, the blood bag temperature has exceeded 10 °C, meaning the blood product must be discarded for safety reasons.

Supporting quality assurance in blood logistics

The Hemo Temp II temperature indicator helps organizations involved in:

  • blood donation services
  • blood processing centers
  • hospitals
  • pharmaceutical logistics

to maintain blood product quality assurance and ensure cold chain validation.

When unused blood bags are returned, the indicator provides immediate verification that the cold chain has remained intact.

KAGER Medical Line: solutions for temperature monitoring

The KAGER Medical Line (KML) includes a wide range of products for:

  • temperature monitoring
  • threshold indicators
  • pharmaceutical logistics
  • supply chain control
  • packaging validation

All solutions are presented in the latest KML catalogue, a 50-page product overview available as a free PDF download from the KAGER website.
