Is standard grey duct tape a suitable replacement?

Not really. Duct tape is shiny; gaffer's tape is not. Beige masking tape would probably be closer.

For simple testing purposes, duct tape will be fine. Just don't expect to be able to detect the gray gaffer's tape with the same sensitivity adjustment on the sensor.

Gaffer's tape is meant to be applied, and later removed, without leaving lots of sticky residue on surfaces. Duct tape is NOT like that -- it will leave a nasty mess behind when you pull it up.

Your building's facilities staff will probably not be happy if you put duct tape on the carpet.
