Abstract
An experimental procedure is presented for measuring contact pressure between a pneumatic seal and its counterface. Measurements were performed using pressure-sensitive films, for which a suited calibration procedure was developed, also taking into account humidity influence. Having validated the experimental procedure on a lip seal rectilinear specimen, tests were carried out on commercial piston seals. Results were compared with those coming from numerical simulations performed using a finite-elements analysis.
