2 FEATURES

Prescale Film1

The types of prescale film that the FPD-8010E can measure are as follows. Select according to the pressure

measurement range.

(For intermediate pressure, there are the two-shot type and the mono-shot type.)

• Prescale film 1MPa = 1.45 x 102 psi, 1mm = 0.04in

Note:

• In this system, pressure measurement values are displayed in MPa.

For details on pressure conversion, see Page 124.

• The upper limit for prescale film color generation is 50 MPa.

Therefore, if pressure is measured using the prescale for medium level pressures (MS type), even if

the actual pressure is greater than 50 MPa, about 50 MPa is displayed.

Areas over 50 MPa with the MS type are not warranted.

2 FEATURES

Main FPD-8010E System Features2

1. The pressure states can be processed as screen data.

The pressure states can be grasped as screen data from the basic distribution diagram and data can be

acquired using various functions.

2. The screen can be switched with one touch.

You can switch easily from the basic distribution diagram to the 3D software or polar coordinate software.

3. Data can be with part enlargement, pin point measurement, and coordinate origin settings.

It is possible to display part of the display screen enlarged and to display with a different color for each

pressure range. On a part enlargement screen, pin point measurement of pressure values divided into

small increments can be made, so data can be investigated in detail. Also, any point can be set as the

origin of the coordinates.

FPD-8010E System Operating Principles3

1. Prescale film with microcapsules containing color developer and color generation agent applied. The

microcapsules in the color generation agent layer are crushed according to the pressure applied and the

color generation agent released from the crushed microcapsules reacts chemically with the color

developer and turns red.

Because the microcapsules are adjusted to be crushed at various strengths, the darkness of the red

obtained depends on the pressure applied.

2. The FPD-8010E is pressure image software.

3. When the pressurized prescale film is placed on the scan section of the FPD-8010E and scanned in, the

darkness of the red color on the prescale film is scanned, the pressure image software converts this to

pressures, and the results are displayed on the display.

4. The scanned data is displayed on the display with the display method corresponding to the selected

display format.

5. The data displayed on the display can be printed as necessary.

This data can also be recorded to various storage devices on the customer's computer.

1 How to Set the Prescale Film

• Prescale film too large to scan at one time can be scanned divided into up to 15 times. In this case, scan in

overlapping the edges of the scan screens and put together with a composite screen.

For fine adjustment during composing, check the overlap areas in the enlargement window. (The

enlargement window is displayed by clicking the magnifying glass icon on the tool bar, but only when an

inverted image is displayed in the composite window.) When the overlapping images match, the overlap

image section becomes black.

Set the special cover in place, being careful that the prescale film does not move.(Make sure the

special cover is facing correctly.)3

Prescale film:

Select the type of prescale film to scan from the pull-down list.

When it is necessary to measure a large pressurization section, it is possible to make a composite of

multiple screens. In this case, set the "number of sheets (screens) in the horizontal direction" and the

"number of sheets (screens) in the vertical direction"

The maximum is "5 sheets horizontal" by "3 sheets vertical" for a total of 15 sheets.

Number of sheets in the horizontal direction:

Set the number of scan sheets in the horizontal direction of the prescale film to be scanned, up to 5.

Number of sheets in the vertical direction:

Set the number of scan sheets in the vertical direction of the prescale film to be scanned, up to 3.

* This software has built-in characteristics curves for different types of prescale film. These

characteristics curves depend on the temperature and humidity, so the temperature and

humidity setting for during pressurization are extremely important condition settings.

Therefore, always write down the temperature and humidity during pressurization and input

this value when creating the new scan.

Temperature during pressurization :

Input the temperature for when the prescale film was pressurized.

Humidity during pressurization:

Input the humidity for when the prescale film was pressurized.

Resolution:

Use the pull-down list to select the scan resolution of 0.125 (200 dpi), 0.25 (100 dpi), 0.5, 19, or 29 mm.

Pressure type:

Select which is closer to the way in which pressure is applied during pressurization, either "Sustained

Pressure" or "Momentary Pressure".

For "Sustained Pressure", the time to reach the pressure is 2 minutes and the time the pressure is held is

2 minutes.

For "Momentary Pressure", the time to reach the pressure is 5 seconds and the time the pressure is held

is 5 seconds.

However, for ultra-high pressure (HHS) prescale film, there is only "Sustained Pressure".

* If you click "Cancel" during, the input contents are cancelled and creation of the new file is stopped.

* Critical

The cross-section diagram with angle specification, circumferential cross-section

diagram, and histogram (circumferential) share the following features in common.

Measurement is only made within the range of the pressure distribution diagram displayed on the screen. The

sections not displayed are not measured.

To measure sections not displayed on the screen, scroll or enlarge/reduce to bring those sections into

the display on the screen, then press the "Renew" button. Measurement is made in the new range

without changing the angle or radius. For cross-section diagrams with angle specification, the

measurements are updated for all the angles.

The cross-section diagram range is not changed unless the "Renew" button is pressed.

If the length of the cross-section diagram is larger than the width of the pressure distribution diagram

displayed on the screen, the cross-section diagram has its own scale. That scale is drawn directly on the

graph.

If the range of the cross-section diagram is shorter than the width of the pressure distribution diagram,

the pressure distribution diagram scale is displayed on the cross-section diagram. (See the diagram on

Page 103.)

8 SAVING A LOAD CORRECTION FILE (Function Not Warranted by Manufacturer)

Click "File" on the menu bar, then select "Save Load Correction File".1

If there is a difference between the reading on the user load meter and the "load" by the FPD-8010E, the

FPD-8010E value can be corrected to match the user load.

This difference is based on "differences in the measurement environment" and "differences in the load of

different metals and on the user meter based on the fact that the prescale film traceability is based on a

hydraulic load meter."

If the load value is correct, this is outside the manufacturer warranty because it makes it impossible to secure

traceability for a prescale film system.

(The fact that the load value was corrected can be seen in the data attributes.)

The load correction window is displayed.2

Input the load value to correct to, then click "Next".3

8

121

Name the file and save it.4

The image with the load corrected is displayed.

Because the correction is applied to all pixels, load values after correction have fractions, so the load
