Yes, the PressureScan can be used in a vacuum chamber.
Before use, please consider the following points:
While the sensor itself is flexible and thin, the extension boards or interface boards connected to the sensor are made of rigid materials, which may affect the setup in the chamber.
When used in a vacuum chamber, noise may occur due to the vacuum conditions or the equipment. This noise could either represent actual forces acting on the sensor in a vacuum state or be electrical noise generated by the equipment.
This guide will help you choose the right sensor for your application:
Select a sensor compatible with your controller. Sensors compatible with the Tinn controller include MS9723, MS9724, and Insole sensors. Other sensors are compatible with Baikal II series controllers. Note: Tinn is a 16x10 channel entry-level controller. For higher resolution requirements, we recommend using Baikal II series controllers.
Check the sensor size and measurement area. A variety of sensor sizes are available. Most sensors can be resized through cutting. Note: Sensors that cannot be resized: SFC5813R2, SFC2910V2, SFM5216R1.
Verify the sensor's pressure range.
Verify the sensor's operating temperature.

It is recommended to operate the sensor within the pressure range specified in the datasheet.
Depending on the extent of the pressure exceeding the range, the outcomes can vary:
Slightly exceeding the pressure range If the applied pressure slightly exceeds the specified range, measurement accuracy may degrade significantly. This can result in reduced pressure resolution, where subtle differences in pressure distribution might no longer be distinguishable.
Example: Within the specified range, a pressure difference of 1 kgf/cm² can be detected. Beyond the range, the sensor may only detect differences of 2 kgf/cm² or more.
Additionally, minor physical impressions on the sensor surface could affect the output to a small extent. Note: This does not constitute damage that would render the sensor unusable.
Significantly exceeding the pressure range When the applied pressure greatly exceeds the recommended range, the sensor may fail to measure pressure distribution accurately. Moreover, the sensor could be physically damaged (e.g., tearing or deformation), potentially making it unusable. In most cases, severe damage occurs when pressure is applied using a sharp or narrow object.
If the pressure exceeds the recommended range significantly, please contact us for further assistance.
Although PressureScan (electronic pressure-sensitive film) sensors can be made thin due to their exposed sensing area,
the output may vary depending on the shape, material, and application location of the object pressing on the sensor,
even under the same pressure.
Therefore, periodic calibration is required to prevent characteristic changes caused by pressure and temperature fluctuations during use.
While it is difficult to provide an exact calibration interval due to variations in the usage environment,
we generally recommend performing calibration every 3 to 6 months.
If possible, shorter intervals or calibrating right before use is the most effective.

Calibration typically refers to the process of verifying and
adjusting the precision of measurement devices.
At Kitronyx, calibration is further defined as the method of converting digital values output
in response to force into absolute force and pressure readings.
The calibration of film-type FSR sensors involves two main steps:
Gain Tuning, which corrects deviations in individual nodes,
and Fine Tuning, which measures pressure.

The recommended operating temperature for the sensor is room temperature (23±5°C).
Using the sensor above this temperature range may result in decreased measurement accuracy and potential damage to the sensor.
The pressure range varies by product, so please refer to the detailed product pages for specific information.
If you need to use pressure outside the specified range, we can adjust the product through customization.

If pressed with a soft object like a hand at a pressure of 1 kgf/cm², the sensor's lifespan is over 50,000 times.
When pressed with a metal object at a pressure of 10 kgf/cm², the approximate lifespan of the sensor is between 500 to 1,000 times.
* The number of uses may vary depending on the usage environment (pressure conditions, shape, etc.)
The main reason for sensor damage is not exceeding the number of uses,
but rather carelessness such as external damage due to improper usage methods and storage management.
