Hey All,
I have a set of 10x12 Level III TAP Gamma Plus Plates that I purchased over 5 years ago. I don’t know much about them and haven’t been able to find a ton of info online. I have them in a size M JPC 1.0 right now and they fit well. I was just looking for some info as to whether they are good plates or not or if I should consider upgrading. Thanks!

All the TAP Gammas are ancient by this point and have a known issue with delamination. Replace those ASAP.

Thanks for Info! I did end up getting a new set of plates and now have these ones still. I looked over them and they do not appear to be delaminating and the ceramic appears in good condition still. I did take good care of these over the years and was wondering if anybody had any advice as to if I could still field these ones as a back up or not? I’d hate to just get rid of them if it’s still something that I could use. Anybody else have suggestions or info? Thanks in advance!

Delamination is visually undetectable and you need to perform a tap test. I guess backup would be fine but there is always the risk.
