Proudly Made in the USA, the SET-50™ and TC-3™ are the original, solution to satisfy the UL 1439 standard for the “determination of sharp edges”. This combination has been the leader in product safety testing equipment for edge sharpness since 1973.
TC-3™ tape caps are specifically made for the Sharp Edge Tester SET-50™. Unlike other manufacturers, our tape caps fit precisely to ensure reliable and accurate test results. Each TC-3™ box contains 44 custom crafted tape caps.
Tape caps are designed to test for sharp edges by simulating layers of skin on a finger. To conform with UL 1439, every TC-3™ contains the following three (3) preassembled tape layers and a center guideline on a plastic cap:
- 1 layer of Foam Black Tape
- 1 layer of Foam White Tape
- 1 layer of Teflon® Tape
Each piece also feature a guideline on the center of the cap to help inspectors align the tool on the edge or surface being tested. TC-3™ tape caps slip on the pressure head of the Sharp Edge Tester SET-50™ for quick and easy testing.
Each time a test is performed, a cut tape cap can be quickly identified, removed, and replaced within seconds, thus enabling more tests in less time. Tape caps are reusable until the test fails or any of the layers have been penetrated. At that point they must be discarded. It is important to have multiple tape caps on hand, especially during assembly line testing.
By ordering the TC-3™ Tape Cap Kit with the SET-50™ Sharp Edge Tester, you will ensure ample supply of tape caps for testing and will also save on additional shipping and handling from a separate order.
