Designed for both shop and field environments, the RTR H features a large 2.8-inch color touchscreen, auto-linearization for tape non-linearity, and interchangeable probe architecture. It automatically subtracts backing thickness, provides immediate HL (peak height) values, and stores readings for quality control and reporting.

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.
