Tape Test

Question:
Need a simple method that will aid visual inspection?

Answer:
The Tape Test is a simple method that aids visual inspection and is well suited for testing the cleanliness of smooth metal and plastic parts. It involves attaching transparent adhesive tape to the surface being measured, firmly pressing it down, carefully removing it and then placing it on a sheet of clean white paper. Visually comparing the sample with an adjacent piece of white paper is a fast, easy way to monitor particulates and sometimes even film residues.
