News Releases Significance and Use

Replication is a nondestructive sampling procedure that records and preserves the

film (replica). The replica permits the examination and analysis of the

Request a Free Catalog are utilized and sometimes necessary (see 8.1).

View Catalog Note 1It is recommended that the purchaser of a field replication service specify

that each replicator demonstrate proficiency by providing field prepared replica

metallography and direct LM and SEM comparison to laboratory prepared samples of

an identical material by grade and service exposure.

1. Scope

1.1 This practice covers recognized methods for the preparation and evaluation of

cellulose acetate or plastic film replicas which have been obtained from

metallographically prepared surfaces. It is designed for the evaluation of replicas to

ensure that all significant features of a metallographically prepared surface have been

duplicated and preserved on the replica with sufficient detail to permit both LM and

SEM examination with optimum resolution and sensitivity.

1.2 This practice may be used as a controlling document in commercial situations.

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. Inch-pound

units given in parentheses are for information only.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any,

associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish

appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory

limitations prior to use.
