Note
The plural covers only the countable uses of replacement. Most often it counts substitutes, people or parts alike: two replacements arrived, the team needed several replacements. It can also count separate acts of replacing, and in crystallography it names several edges of a crystal removed by planes. When replacement means the process in general, as in the cost of replacement, it stays singular and takes no plural.
