DeFelsko Replica Tape Reader PosiTector RTR H
This instrument simplifies surface profile assessment using replica tape by integrating electronic measurement, high accuracy, and robust durability. It supports both Standard and Advanced models with thousands of stored readings, WiFi/Bluetooth connectivity, and ensures traceability via calibration certificates—ideal for coating preparation and inspection.
Features
Measures surface profile in range 20-115 µm (0.8-4.5 mils) with an accuracy of ± 5 µm (± 0.2 mils).
Supports Coarse and X-Coarse primary grades of Testex tape; automatically applies conversion factor for non-linear behaviour, subtracts 50 µm (2 mils) backing to compute HL.
Weatherproof, dustproof, water-resistant body with ergonomic rubber grip and protective holster; built for rugged field use.
2.8-inch impact-resistant color touchscreen with redesigned keypad; includes on-gage help, reset feature, selectable language and auto-rotating display.
onforms to ASTM D4417 (Method C), ISO 8503-5, NACE RP0287, SSPC-PA-17 etc. Long-form Certificate of Calibration traceable to PTB; includes check shim.
