Elcometer 122 Testex Replica Tape

The Elcometer 122 Testex Replica Tape is a specialized instrument designed for accurately measuring surface profile (peak-to-valley height) by creating a physical mold of the blasted surface. The tape is composed of a compressible foam mounted on a non-compressible backing. When the foam is rubbed into a roughened surface, it replicates the profile, which can then be measured using the Elcometer 124 Thickness Gauge.

Elcometer 122 Testex Tape is available in three profile ranges. It is important that the tape grade chosen is reflective of the profile being measured, as using a tape grade below the actual value may provide a “false” reading. The test area of each impression measures 19 x 54 mm (0.75 x 2.13”), providing a sufficiently large sampling for accurate readings. Each roll includes 50 individual tests, offering high value and convenience for regular field use.

This solution is ideal for inspecting surface roughness in accordance with international standards, ensuring proper surface preparation before coating applications. With its ease of use and reliability, it is a preferred tool in the corrosion control and coatings industry.

Precision meets simplicity with the Elcometer 122 Testex Replica Tape — the ultimate tool for verifying blast profile consistency and ensuring coating adhesion. Available in multiple grades to meet diverse needs, it is your reliable partner in surface inspection.
