Measurement Range and Choice of Film
There are nine types of films with their specific ranges available to cover the measurement range of 0.006 to 300 MPa. The latest type "Ultra Extreme Low" covers the range from 0.06 to 0.5 bars.
| Film Type | Name | Layers | Range | Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5LW | Ultra Extreme Low | 2 layers | 0.006 - 0.05 MPa | 310 mm x 2 m |
| 4LW | Extreme Low | 2 layers | 0.05 - 0.2 MPa | 310 mm x 3 m |
| LLLW | Ultra Super Low | 2 layers | 0,2 - 0,6 MPa | 270 mm x 5 m |
| LLW-HT (only for 180 - 220°C) | Super Low HT | 2 layers | 0,5 - 2,5 MPa | 270 mm x 6 m |
| LLW | Super Low | 2 layers | 0,5 - 2,5 MPa | 270 mm x 6 m |
| LW | Low | 2 layers | 2,5 - 10 MPa | 270 mm x 10 m |
| MW | Medium | 2 layers | 10 - 50 MPa | 270 mm x 10 m |
| MS | Medium | 1 layer | 10 - 50 MPa | 270 mm x 10 m |
| HS | High | 1 layer | 50 - 130 MPa | 270 mm x 10 m |
| HHS | Super High | 1 layer | 130 - 300 MPa | 270 mm x 10 m |
All slides are supplied in reels of 27 cm and 31 cm respectively. The length of the role depends on the sensitivity and starts at 2 m for “Ultra Extreme Low” up to 10 m for the less sensitive films.
If the expected pressure distribution cannot be covered by using only one film, more film types can be superimposed in order to expand the range.
