The Testex RTXC-A Replica Tape Extra Coarse Grade (50 pc) is a legacy roll format Testex Press-O-Film surface profile measurement tape designed for rough and heavily blasted substrates. With an extra coarse profile range of approximately 1.5–4.5 mils (38–115 µm), this Testex tape captures larger surface roughness profiles where standard coarse grades are not sufficient.
Testex replica tape delivers a physical impression of a blasted or textured surface when placed and burnished onto the substrate. The compressed tape segment is then measured with a micrometer or electronic surface profile reader to determine the peak-to-valley surface profile — a key parameter in coating preparation and quality assurance. This proven technique is recognised by industry standards such as ISO 8503-5, ASTM D4417, NACE, and SSPC.
The RTXC-A roll format provides 50 impression strips in a compact roll that’s compatible with precision micrometers and electronic readers. It’s ideal for field testing, inspection teams, and quality control applications where traditional legacy style tape is preferred or required.
Extra Coarse grade (legacy roll) for rugged surfaces with high surface profiles.
Suitable for profiles ≈ 1.5–4.5 mils / 38–115 µm — ideal for heavy blast textures.
50 impression strips per roll for multiple measurements.
Use with analog/digital micrometers or electronic readers such as PosiTector RTR.
Proven, repeatable surface profile measurement method recognised by ISO, ASTM, NACE, SSPC standards.
Legacy roll format preferred for certain inspection or archival workflows.
