Testex® Replica Tape
Measures the Surface Profile on Metal Surfaces
Testex Replica Tape measures surface profile by creating a replica of the surface, which can be measured using a micrometer. Simple and proven technique with accuracy and repeatability validated by numerous independent studies.
Conforms to ASME B46, ASTM D4417, ISO 8503-5, NACE SP287, SSPC-PA 17, SP5, SP6, SP10, SP11-87T, and others.
PosiTector® SPG
Digital Surface Profile Gauges for Blasted Steel, Textured Coatings, and Concrete Profile
Surface Profile Gages use a digital depth micrometer fitted with a fine pointed probe to measure and record peak-to-valley surface profile heights in preparation for the application of coatings.
Conforms to ASTMD4417-B, ASTM D8271 (SPG TS only), AS 3894.5-C (with optional 30° tip), U.S.Navy NSI 009-32, Navy NAVSEA 009-32, US Navy NAVSEA PPI 63101-000, SSPC PA 17, SANS 5772, and others.
PosiTector® RTR H
Digital Replica Tape Reader for Blasted Steel and Textured Coatings
Digital spring micrometers measure and record surface profile parameters using Testex Press-O-Film™ replica tape—producing a more accurate peak-to-valley surface profile height measurement for blasted steel and textured coatings.
Conforms to ASTM D4417, ISO 8503-5, NACE SP0287, SSPC-PA 17, SSPC-SP5, SP6, SP10, SP11-87T, and others.
PosiTector® RTR 3D
Digital Replica Tape Reader for Measuring and Recording 2D/3D Surface Profile Parameters
Digital replica tape imagers measure and record 14 common 2D/3D surface profile parameters using Testex Press-O-Film™ replica tape. Download high resolution .SDF files for further analysis (Advanced models only).
Conforms to ASME B46, ASTM D4417, ISO 8503-5, NACE SP0287, SSPC-PA 17, SSPC-SP5, SP6, SP10, SP11-87T, and others.
Surface Roughness Comparators
Assess Surface Profile Depth Generated by Abrasive Blast Cleaning by both Touch and Sight
Durable roughness disks contain four or five reference profile grades per comparator. Select from steel shot, grit/slag, and sand.
Conforms to ISO 8503-1, ISO 8503-2, ASTM D4417-A.
ICRI Concrete Surface Profile Chips
Comparator Chips for Evaluating Concrete Surface Profile (CSP)
The International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI) produces 10 distinct concrete profiles formed by various surface preparation methods. Each profile carries a CSP number ranging from CSP 1 (nearly flat) to CSP 10 (very rough; amplitude greater than ¼” [6 mm]).
Conforms to SSPC-SP13/NACE No. 6 -Surface Preparation of Concrete.
