Testex® Replica Tape
£35 + VAT®
Testex Replica Tape measures surface profile by creating a replica of the surface, which can be measured using a micrometer
- Same trusted Coarse and X-Coarse replica foam in new strip format
- Simple technique: place on the surface, press/burnish it into the surface, remove, and measure
- Proven technique with accuracy and repeatability validated by numerous independent studies
- Measure using a precision digital or analog micrometer or electronic PosiTector RTR Replica Tape Reader
- Less than 30 seconds required for most replicas
- Only surface profile measurement method recognized by ISO, ASTM, and AMPP

Details
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 micrometric thickness gauge such as the PosiTector RTR H Replica Tape Reader and subtracting the contribution of the incompressible substrate gives a measure of the surface profile.
Optical Grade XC Testex Replica Tape available — provides higher quality SDF surface data files than conventional replica tape (for use with PosiTector RTR 3D models). Each roll of Testex Tape includes 50 pieces (Impressions). Testex Tape is not included with PosiTector RTR Replica Tape Readers.
