Testex Replica Tape measures surface profile by creating a replica of the surface, which can be measured using a micrometer. Testex Press-O-Film Replica Tape consists of a layer of compressible foam affixed to an incompressible polyester substrate of highly uniform thickness. When pressed against a roughened steel surface, the foam collapses and forms an impression of the surface. Placing the compressed Testex Tape between the anvils of a micrometer thickness gage and subtracting the thickness of the incompressible substrate gives a measure of the surface profile. Each carton of Testex Tape includes 50 pieces (impressions).
Simple technique: place on the surface, press/burnish it into the surface, remove, and measure Less than 30 seconds required for most replicas
Conforms to ASME B46, ASTM D4417, ISO 8503-5, NACE SP287, SSPC-PA 17, SP5, SP6, SP10, SP11-87T, and others
- Measure using a precision Digital Micrometer, Analog Micrometer, or PosiTector RTR Replica Tape Reader
- Ideal for measuring on round surfaces and other challenging locations
- Option to retain a permanent physical replica of the surface after measurement for archival reporting
- Withstands nearly any environment, including temperatures up to 60° C (140° F)
- Only surface profile measurement method recognized by ISO, ASTM, and AMPP
