I-Scan vs. Pressure Indicating Film – See the Difference

Still relying on pressure indicating film to evaluate contact pressure? Explore how modern pressure mapping delivers clearer, quantitative data that elevates your measurement capabilities.

In This Video Comparison, you can see:

• Enhanced Visualization - Compare static film impressions to high-resolution, full-color pressure distribution maps generated in real time.

• Quantitative Measurement - Capture precise force, pressure, and contact area values—not just approximate color gradients.

• Reproducible Results - See how I-Scan sensors enable consistent, repeatable measurements across multiple tests and setups.

• Workflow & Cost Advantages - Learn why reusable sensor technology reduces consumable costs and simplifies data collection and reporting.

Why It Matters

Accurate, repeatable pressure data is critical for:

• Validating component designs
• Optimizing machine setup and alignment
• Improving quality control protocols
• Supporting compliance and documentation requirements

Many engineers and manufacturers are moving beyond film to adopt digital pressure mapping for more reliable insights and process improvements.

View the side-by-side comparison and see how I-Scan sets a new standard for contact pressure measurement.

Note: Since this video was created, I-Scan has continued to evolve - offering even higher spatial resolution, advanced analytics, and streamlined reporting tools
