PosiTector RTR Replica Tape Reader - Digital spring micrometer

PosiTector RTR Replica Tape Reader - Digital spring micrometer

The PosiTector Replica Tape Reader (RTR) is a hand-held electronic instrument that measures burnished TestexTM Press-O-FilmTM replica tape to produce peak-to-valley surface profile height measurements.
It consists of a body (Standard or Advanced) and probe. This digital spring micrometer measures and records peak to valley surface profile height using replica tape.

Replica Tape provides a simple way to obtain an impression of a surface for analysis. It consists of a layer of crushable plastic micro foam affixed to a 50.8 μm incompressible polyester film. When compressed against a roughened surface, the foam collapses and acquires an impression, or reverse replica, of the surface. It is available in a number of grades to accommodate measurements in different profile ranges.

Placing the compressed tape (replica) into the PosiTector RTR gives a measure of the average maximum peak-to-valley height of the surface roughness profile.

Conforms to ASTM D4417, ISO 8503-5, NACE SP0287, SSPC-PA 17, SSPC-SP5, SP6, SP10, SP11-87T, and others.

These norms refer to various standards and specifications related to surface preparation for painting and coating applications:

ASTM D4417: Standard Test Methods for Field Measurement of Surface Profile of Blast Cleaned Steel. This standard provides procedures for determining the surface profile of a blasted steel surface using various methods, such as replica tape, depth micrometers, and laser profilometers.
ISO 8503-5: Preparation of steel substrates before application of paints and related products - Surface roughness characteristics of blast-cleaned steel substrates - Part 5: Replica tape method for the determination of the surface profile. Similar to ASTM D4417, this ISO standard outlines methods for determining surface profile characteristics of blast-cleaned steel using replica tape.
NACE SP0287: Standard Practice for the Use of Coating Service Level Designations on Chemical Process Equipment. This NACE standard provides guidelines for designating coating service levels based on the anticipated corrosion conditions in chemical process equipment.
SSPC-PA 17: Procedure for Determining Conformance to Steel Profile/Surface Roughness/Peak Count Requirements. This standard is issued by the Society for Protective Coatings (SSPC) and outlines procedures for determining compliance with specific surface profile/surface roughness requirements.
SSPC-SP5: White Metal Blast Cleaning. This SSPC standard defines the requirements for white metal blast cleaning of steel surfaces, providing a specific level of cleanliness and surface profile for coating applications.
SSPC-SP6: Commercial Blast Cleaning. This standard outlines the requirements for commercial blast cleaning of steel surfaces, achieving a lower level of cleanliness and surface profile compared to SSPC-SP5.
SSPC-SP10: Near-White Blast Cleaning. This standard specifies requirements for near-white blast cleaning of steel surfaces, falling between SSPC-SP5 and SSPC-SP6 in terms of cleanliness and surface profile.
SSPC-SP11-87T: Power Tool Cleaning to Bare Metal (St. Louis Testing Laboratories). This technology guide provides information on power tool cleaning methods to achieve a bare metal surface prior to coating.

These standards and specifications are commonly referenced and followed in industries where surface preparation and coating application are critical, such as manufacturing, construction, marine, and oil and gas sectors. Adhering to these standards ensures a consistent and appropriate surface condition, which is vital for the successful adhesion and performance of protective coatings.
