Hi Listmembers: I have been going through the pile of (564) emails accumulated during the week that I have been gone, and I came across mention of a plastic film product from Fuji which can measure the contact pressure of joined surfaces (like the pressure of a conductive gasket). Just stick it in the joint, clamp, remove, and read the pressure by noting the color variation of the film.
I had never heard of this stuff, called Pressurex, but it sounds like a great idea. Here's a link to some pictures and data: http://www.sensorprod.com/pressurex.html (The usual disclaimers, etc.) Regards, Ed :-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-) Ed Price [email protected] Electromagnetic Compatibility Lab Cubic Defense Systems San Diego, CA.
