Testex Tape | Press-O-Film

Caltech India offers testex tape. Testex Tape is popularly called as Press-O-Film. Testex Tape press-o-film provides surface profile of a basted cleaned surface. Press O Film Replica Tape can produce virtually exact replicas of the blasted surface profile, which can be measured, using a snap gauge or testex profile gauge. Replica tape offers a simple and very accurate method of measuring blasted profiles of blasted surface. We are textex tape distributors in India. We are one of the leading and premium testex tape / press-o-film suppliers in India.

Testex Press-O-Film Replica Tape is a specialized measuring tool used for surface roughness testing and profiling. It consists of a flexible, self-adhesive tape with a compressible foam layer. The tape is designed to replicate the texture and profile of a surface when pressed against it with a defined amount of pressure.

The Press-O-Film Replica Tape is commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, construction, and metalworking, where accurate surface roughness measurements are crucial. By using the tape, inspectors and quality control professionals can obtain a visual replica of the surface, which can then be analysed using various methods.

To use the Replica Tape, the adhesive side is firmly pressed onto the surface of interest. The compressible foam layer conforms to the surface contours, capturing its texture and profile. After removing the tape, the replica can be examined and analyzed using visual or optical methods, such as magnification or profilometry.

The replica provides valuable information about surface roughness parameters, including peak-to-valley height, average roughness, and profile shape. This data helps evaluate the quality of surfaces, assess their suitability for specific applications, and determine the effectiveness of surface preparation methods.

Testex Press-O-Film Replica Tape offers a convenient, non-destructive, and cost-effective solution for surface roughness measurement. It is widely recognized for its accuracy and ease of use, making it a preferred choice for professionals involved in surface analysis and quality assurance.

Testex Tape’s Press O Film consists of layer of crushable plastic microfoam coated onto a polyster film of highly uniform thickness. Supplied with burnishing tool and testex tape instructions. Low cost way for surface replication and measurement to measure profile.

Surface Profile Gauge or testex tape press-o-film can test surface roughness. Most commonly used textex tape / press-o-film (POF) are popular as it can give permanent record of the surfaces as a proof of testing done on prepared surface. Place the Replica Tape firmly on the blasted surface, apply moderate pressure with the burnishing tool, the replica has now been taken and can be measured using the snap gauge. Testing & Inspection can be done in three easy steps.

How to use testex tape detailed procedure is furnished with testex kit or tape. It is supplied in a roll containing 50 tests and is available in four different grades to cater for different applications. The snap gauge is supplied in a carrying case with a burnishing tool. Paint applicators, inspectors and researchers for its simple operations and results prefers to use testex tapes.

Testex Tape (Press-O-Film) complies with ASTM, NACE and SSPC methods measurement.

ASTM- Reproducibility is given in ASTM Standard D4417 for both “X-coarse” and “coarse” grade replica tape.

NACE- Standard RP0287 addresses the issue of accuracy of measurement, test results.

SSPC- The Society for Protective Coatings, recommends a minimum of three measurements of profile per 100 square feet (10 square meters).

ISO- International Organization for Standards- Draft Standard ISO8503-5 describes preparation of steel substrates before application of paint and related products.

Testex tape kit comprises two rolls press-o-film (X Coarse grade of tape supplied as standard, specify different grade if required), snap gauge and burnishing tool. Caltech India can also provide digital snap gauge.
