TESTO IR Adhesive Tape for Bare Surfaces, up to +250 °C, Emissivity 0.95, 10 m Length, 25 mm Width (0554 0051)

Maintenance technicians and electricians often face the challenge of measuring temperature on shiny or bare metal surfaces, where low emissivity leads to inaccurate infrared readings. This TESTO IR adhesive tape solves that problem by providing a uniform, high-emissivity surface of 0.95, ensuring reliable temperature measurements with infrared thermometers and thermal imagers. Simply apply the self-adhesive tape to the target area, and it withstands temperatures up to +250 °C, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

Key specifications

• Emissivity: 0.95
• Maximum operating temperature: +250 °C
• Tape length: 10 m
• Tape width: 25 mm
• Adhesive type: self-adhesive
• Colour: black
• Compatible with infrared thermometers and thermal imagers

Why choose it

Accurate temperature measurement on reflective surfaces is critical for preventive maintenance and quality control. This tape creates a consistent, high-emissivity target, eliminating errors caused by low or variable surface emissivity. Its high-temperature resistance and durable adhesive ensure it stays in place even in demanding environments, providing a cost-effective solution for improving measurement reliability.

Ideal use cases

• Measuring temperature on bare metal pipes, ducts, and machinery
• Inspecting electrical connections and busbars
• Monitoring surface temperatures in HVAC systems
• Quality control in manufacturing processes
• Research and development applications requiring accurate IR measurements

Good to know

The tape is easy to apply and remove, leaving no residue on most surfaces. For best results, ensure the surface is clean and dry before application. Each roll provides 10 meters of tape, offering ample supply for multiple measurement points. The black colour enhances emissivity and is standard for IR measurement applications.
