The Analog Dial Thickness Gage is a traditional, robust snap gage specifically engineered for measuring the surface profile created by Testex Replica Tape. These gages are uniquely manufactured with the precise closing force, anvil dimensions, and parallelism specifications required by international standards for accurate replica tape measurement. It provides a simple, direct analog reading of the compressed tape thickness, which, after manual subtraction of the () backing film, yields the surface profile height.

The Analog Dial Thickness Gage is used by coating inspection personnel to measure the physical replica created by Testex Press-O-Film Tape following abrasive blast cleaning. It is a critical tool for quantifying the peak-to-valley surface profile height on and to ensure that the required roughness for optimal adhesion is achieved before painting or coating application, in compliance with international standards for corrosion prevention.

What is the main difference between this Analog Gage and the Digital Micrometer?

The Analog Gage is a mechanical tool that requires the operator to manually subtract the ( ) backing film thickness and perform any necessary , while the automates these calculations.

Why is the closing force important for replica tape measurement?

The of is critical because it ensures the soft, compressible foam on the replica tape is measured consistently according to the specified and standards, guaranteeing high measurement accuracy and repeatability.

Does this gage come with a calibration certificate?

Yes, a traceable to a national metrology institute is included with the Certified models ( and ) to support quality system compliance.

How is the true surface profile height calculated using the Analog Dial Gage?

The measurement displayed on the dial is the total thickness of the compressed foam plus the incompressible backing film. To get the true profile height, the operator must manually subtract the backing thickness from the reading.

What is the “overlap range” procedure associated with this analog measurement?

When a reading falls within the of the and tapes, the operator must take a second reading with the other tape grade. The of the two compliant readings is then recorded as the final profile height.
