Surface roughness testers
Roughness measurement (Ra, Rz…)
Surface roughness testers measure the surface finish of a part through parameters such as Ra, Rz, Rq and Rt, quantifying how smooth or rough the surface is.
A good finish is critical for sealing, friction, wear, and the appearance of a part; that is why it is controlled on machined, ground, and polished surfaces.
Portable models are available for shop-floor measurement, and benchtop models for the laboratory, with analysis software.
