What is the mil range of coarse replica tape?

The mil range for coarse replica tape is indeed between 0.8 to 2.5 mils. This type of tape is specifically designed for measuring the surface profile of a substrate, particularly in the context of coatings and protective finishes. The physical properties of coarse replica tape, including its thickness range, make it suitable for accurately capturing the angularities and heights of the profile peaks on a surface.

In practical applications, this allows inspectors to determine whether a surface meets the profile criteria necessary for optimal adhesion of coatings. Such assessments are critical in quality control within coating operations. Each thickness range on the tape corresponds to specific surface conditions, enabling inspectors to select the appropriate tape based on the expected profile size they need to measure.
