Testex Replica Tape

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

Conforms to ASME B46, ASTM D4417, ISO 8503-5, NACE SP287, SSPC-PA 17, SP5, SP6, SP10, SP11-87T, and others
