DeFelsko has created this concrete chip surface comparator as a manual alternative to their PosiTector SPG-TS digital surface profile gauge. These kits include 10 tiles to match the 10 ICRI CSP categories and are available with or without the Technical Guideline booklet. -
The Testex tape process of measuring surface profile has been used for over 50 years. It is a simple, reliable, and repeatable way of determining surface profile parameters. DeFelsko acquired the Testex tape line and incorporated it into their range of instruments, for increased compatibility and greater convenience for inspectors. DeFelsko is now offering updated packaging in 50-piece packs while continuing to offer the legacy roll packaging. NOTE - the profile ranges are not entirely the same between them - their respective ranges are shown under the Product Description tab. Tape options include the following:- Conventional Testex Press-O-Film Tape grades.
- Use with analog spring or digital micrometers or with the PosiTector RTR H probe.
- Optical Grade Testex Press-O-Film Tape Grades
- Use with PosiTector RTR 3D probe. Provides surface data files (.sdf) that allow both 2D and 3D measurements.
- Conventional Testex Press-O-Film Tape grades.

INDRTRTAPEHLDERRecommended best practice when using the PosiTector RTR 3D is to use these specialized Replica Tape Holders. Very easy to use - just affix the replica tape to the holder, and ensure that the compressible foam is located over the hole in the holder. Once adhered, the replica tape can be simply placed into the probe with no concern about migration of the adhesive onto the probe sensors.INDRTRTAPEHLDERRecommended best practice when using the PosiTector RTR 3D is to use these specialized Replica Tape Holders.

The PosiTector RTR family of instruments is DeFelsko's state-of-the-art solution for surface profile measurement and more. Two different probe models are available and selected features are listed below:
- Familiar. Based on the award-winning PosiTector instrument body platform, the RTR probes are easy to master and use.
- Capable. State-of-the-art technology with 2 models as follows:
- PosiTector RTR H. This 2D version measures surface profile using Testex tape just like a spring micrometer, but with the following enhancements:
- Automatically compensates for the thickness of the Testex film backing.
- Using conventional Testex Coarse or X-Coarse tape, the RTR H calculates linearized measurements automatically, without the complicated averaging process required by analog spring micrometers.
- Stores readings which can be uploaded to PosiSoft, Mac, and smartphone software for professional reporting. Of course, you can keep the physical replica tape as well.
- Ready-to-measure. No calibration adjustment required for most applications.
- PosiTector RTR 3D. This 2D / 3D version offers the same features as the RTR H above, but with these extra features:
- Creates a 3D image of the profile and calculates Peak Density, Peak Count and more - a total of 14 common 2D and 3D surface parameters.
- When paired with the Advanced body, the RTR 3D can download high-res .SDF files for further analysis.
- These 3D surface parameters are proving to be as important (if not more so) than traditional surface profile measurements for predicting coating life. Future proof your instrument purchase against changing specifications by investing in the highly capable PosiTector RTR 3D!
- Note: The PosiTector RTR 3D requires Optical grade Testex tape.
- PosiTector RTR H. This 2D version measures surface profile using Testex tape just like a spring micrometer, but with the following enhancements:
- Configurable. Your choice of RTR probe is available separately (for use with existing PosiTector gage / body), or can be purchased as a kit with your choice of Standard or Advanced body.
-
Burnishing tools facilitate accurate and easy use of Testex Press-O-Film replica tape. Multiple types available, as follows:
- Stick-type. Economical plastic, sold in packs of 10, these have 8mm round ends. Use with all types of Testex tape.
- Burnishing ball. Designed to use with optical grade tape, for use with the RTR 3D probe.
- High Accuracy tool. Updated with a spring-loaded ball for the most consistent results. Use with standard Testex tape.

INDRTRCLEANRecommended best practice when performing replica tape tests with PosiTector RTR instruments is to thoroughly clean the anvils (test surfaces) before performing the test. These Cleaning Cards are premoistened with alcohol and are excellent for removing bits of adhesive and debris from the anvils. Each new RTR comes complete with 5 cleaning cards and additional quantities are available here as needed, in packs of 20.INDRTRCLEANRecommended best practice when performing replica tape tests with PosiTector RTR instruments is to thoroughly clean the anvils (test surfaces) before performing the test.
