Why Do I Need the Sharp Edge Tester Model SET-50™?
Everything from appliances to electronics to metal fabricated parts, etc., has the potential to be dangerous if its rough edges are not tested for sharpness. Our Sharp Edge Tester Model SET-50™ complies with Underwriters Laboratories U.L. Standard 1439 for “Determination of Sharpness of Edges”.
How Does the Sharp Edge Tester Model SET-50™ work?
The Sharp Edge Tester Model SET-50™, partnered with our Tape Cap Kit Model TC-3™, (specifically made to be used with the Sharp Edge Tester Model SET-50™), is extremely easy to use. When testing with the force the tester applies, a dangerously sharp edge will cut through the two outer layers of the sensing tape on the Tape Cap exposing the black layer of tape (bottom layer). This means that your product does not meet UL’s sharp edge safety testing standards. If you do not cut through to the first layer of beige Teflon tape, then your edge meets the UL Standard 1439 and is acceptable for consumer use.
Used according to directions our uniquely engineered tester provides the proper pressure for this sensitive test. Run the tester 2 inches along the edge of a manufactured item and then back 2 inches to its starting position, without the removal of the tester from the edge, and it will provide a PASS/FAIL test of the object’s safety for general use. The Sharp Edge Tester Model SET-50™ works with specially constructed tape caps (simulating the skin on a finger) that fit onto the pressure head of the tester. When the tester is run along an edge, the tape cap will either remain intact (pass) or slit open where third layer of foam (black bottom layer) is visible (fail).

The Tape Cap Kit Model TC-3™ contains 44 handmade tape caps per box.
Do I need to order the Tape Cap Kit Model TC-3™ now since the Sharp Edge Tester Model SET-50™ comes with one tape cap?
Yes, it is suggested that you do. Please note that the Sharp Edge Tester Model SET-50™ comes with one (1) tape cap located on the pressure head of the tester. Should this tape cap be cut during edge sharpness testing, it should be examined and discarded. It is important to have multiple tape caps on hand, especially during assembly line testing. That is why the Tape Cap Kit Model TC-3™, consisting of 44 handmade tape caps in a box, will provide a ready supply of tape caps. Plus you will save on additional shipping and handling costs if the Tape Cap Kit Model TC-3™ is ordered at the same time as the tester. The Tape Cap Kit Model TC-3™ was specifically made for the Sharp Edge Tester Model SET-50™.
How should I store my Tape Cap Kit?
The Tape Caps should be stored in a cool, dry location.
