Testex Replica Tape

Testex Replica Tape is designed to provide a permanent mould of the surface profile, which can then be measured using a thickness gauge.

Testex Tape consists of foam with a non-compressible backing. The foam side is rubbed into the surface providing a permanent mould of the peak-to-valley profile. The profile of the surface can then be measured using the Elcometer 124 Thickness Gauge.

Testex  Replica Tape is available in four profile ranges. It is important that the tape grade chosen is reflective of the profile being measured.

• For surface profiles between 12 & 25µm (0.5 & 1.0mils): Coarse Minus Tape
• For surface profiles between 20 & 38µm (0.8 & 1.5mils): Coarse Tape
• For surface profiles between 38 & 64µm (1.5 & 2.5mils): Average of Coarse and X-Coarse Tape
• For surface profiles between 64 & 115µm (2.5 & 4.5mils): X-Coarse Tape
• For surface profiles greater than 115µm (4.5mils): X-Coarse Plus Tape

There are 50 tests in each Replica Tape roll
