Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable the measurement of not only a regular pressure range but also even an extremely low pressure with ease and accuracy, in a pressure measuring method using pressure measuring films which develops colors in pressurized parts. SOLUTION: An elastic mat provided with a great number of projections provided on its one side is sandwiched between an object of measurement and a pressure measuring film with the projections turned to the sides of the pressure measuring film. Pressing the elastic mat to the pressure measuring film by the object of measurement forms on the pressure measuring film the colored regions which color by the areas according to the pressure forces of pressure points Q1 to Q3 by the projections. Next to this the areas of these colored regions are obtained, and the pressure forces by the projections from the obtained areas. And the distribution of the pressure forces is displayed in multidimentions by linking the positions where pressure forces are the same. At this time, it may be displayed in two or three dimentions by equal pressure lines Sa to Sc or in colors.

[0003] This pressure-measuring film is a film in which a color former layer containing microcapsules containing a color former is coated on a support (referred to as an A film), and a film in which a developer is applied to a support (referred to as a C film). The color developing agent is adsorbed on the color developing agent by destroying the microcapsules at the pressurized portion, and a red color is developed by a chemical reaction (two-sheet type). Further, a developer and a color former in microcapsules are applied to one support,
There is also a type in which a microcapsule at a pressurized portion is broken to cause a color former in the microcapsule to react with a developer (mono-sheet type).

The tip of the convex portion of the elastic mat is deformed by pressurizing the pressure measuring film, and the contact area thereof increases as the applied pressure increases. Therefore, the pressure applied to the convex portion can be known from the area of the color-developed region of the pressure measuring film. By thus knowing the pressure distribution for each pressurizing point, the two-dimensionally continuous pressure distribution can be known. For example, the pressure distribution between adjacent pressure points can be known by interpolating using the pressure distribution of the pressure points around it. Then, by connecting points of a predetermined pressure, the equal pressure line can be displayed two-dimensionally in color. A three-dimensional display may be performed by setting the magnitude of pressure to be high.

For example, the conical bottom surface area of the convex portion 12 is S1.
And the contact area of the convex portion 12 with the film 14 is S2
Then, the pressure is amplified to Po × (S1 / S2).
When the amplified pressure falls within the measurable pressure range of the film 14, the color developer layer 22 of the C film 26 develops a color.
That is, the microcapsules of the A film 20 are broken, and the color developing agent therein chemically reacts with the color developing agent layer 22 to cause the color developing agent layer 22 to develop color. For this reason, the measurable pressure range of the film 14 can be expanded.
