Surface Roughness Testing
Summary of Roughness Parameters
Commonly Used
Arithmetical mean deviation of the profile Ra (ISO 4287, DIN 4768)
The arithmetical mean deviation Ra is the mean value of the absolute value
of the profile departure y within the reference length l.
Max. profile valley depth Rmax (DIN 4768)
Among the existing single roughness depths Zi, the max. profile valley depth
Rmax counts for the most significant within the total measuring length lm.
According to ISO 4288 and DIN 4287 - Part 1, this parameter is also
specified as Ry max.
Mean roughness depth Rz DIN (DIN 4768)
The mean roughness depth Rz is the arithmetical mean of the single roughness
depths of successive sampling lengths le.
According to ISO 4287 and DIN 4762, the parameter Rz DIN is also
specified as Ry5.
Because Rz is named differently in DIN 4768 and ISO 4287, this para mater is
also specified as Rz DIN or Rz ISO.
When the parameter Rz is measured according to DIN, it is generally admitted
that the extreme value ISO is also matched providing that
Rz ISO is not exceeding Rz DIN .
Application of Roughness Comparison Specimens
These specimens for testing the surface finish quality have long proven their
value in practical use.
They serve for touch and/or sight comparisons with the surface of the workpieces
that are manufactured using the same method. Condition is that
materials have to be comparable.
The comparison of the roughness of the
workpiece surface is not quantitatively
expressed. The extent to which the surfaces
of both the specimen and the workpiece are
matched is appreciated subjectively only.
Sight comparison requires optimum light
source angle. For small surfaces, the use of
a magnifying glass with up to 8x magnification
is recommended.
Touch comparison is made using the finger
nail or a small copper piece like a coin, for
instance.

Surface Roughness Testing
Pocket Surf ® Gage
The Pocket Surf gage is a pocket-sized, economically priced, completely
portable instrument for performing traceable surface roughness measurements
on a wide variety of surfaces (including small inside diameters). The Pocket
Surf gage is solidly built with a durable cast aluminum housing to provide
years of accurate, reliable surface finish gaging. Designed for use in a shop
environment or in the laboratory, the Pocket Surf works on both horizontal and
vertical surfaces. It can be used at any angle and can even be held upsidedown.
For even greater versatility, it operates in four probe positions – closed
or with the probe at 90˚, 180˚ or 270˚. Use the Pocket Surf for flat surfaces of
both, inside and outside diameters, as well as many difficult-to-gage surfaces.
Capabilities
The Pocket Surf can measure any one of four switch-selectable parameters.
Ra Average Roughness
Ry Maximum Roughness Depth
Rmax Maximum Roughness Depth (DIN)
Rz Mean Roughness Depth (DIN), also called Rtm
Rmax and Ry are convenient “burr” and “scratch” control parameters and valuable
additions to Ra and Rz. The gage’s digital display is conveniently located
on the top of the unit for optimum visibility. The easy-to-read LCD readout
presents the measured roughness value, in microinches or micrometers, within
half a second after the surface is traversed. Out-of-range (high or low) and
“battery low” signals are also displayed.
Selectable Traverse Length
1, 3, or 5 cutoffs of .030" (0.8 mm) each, permit checking surface lands as short
as .075" (1.9 mm). The start switch is centrally located for optimum stability.

Pocket Surf Measurement Parameters
Ra — Roughness Average
The arithmetic average height of roughness irregularities measured from
a mean line within the evaluation length (L).
Rmax — Maximum Roughness Depth (per DIN)
The largest of the 5 maximum peak-to-valley roughness depths in 5 successive
sampling lengths. In the illustration below, Rmax (DIN) = Ry 4
Rz — Mean Roughness Depth (per DIN),
also known as Rtm
The mean of 5 maximum peak-to-valley roughness depths in 5 successive
sampling lengths
Note: To fully meet the requirements of DIN 4768 for Rmax and Rz, probes
having a stylus radius of .0002" (5 µm) are available.
Ry — Maximum Roughness Depth
For the evaluation length equaling one cutoff, it is the vertical distance between
the highest peak and the deepest valley within the sampling length. For the
evaluation length equaling 3 cutoffs, it is the largest of the 3 maximum
peak-to-valley roughness depths in 3 successive sampling lengths.

Probe Variety
A variety of probes are easily interchangeable, increasing the gage’s capability
for a wide range of applications, such as flats, O.D.s, I.D.s (including small
bores), sharp edges, inside “O” ring grooves, short lands and shoulders.
Built-in Digital Output
With built-in digital output, the Pocket Surf gage
is designed for SPC applications and is compatible with most major SQC data
collection systems. Although it provides powerful flexibility for a portable surface
finish gage, the Pocket Surf gage uses a regular, consumer-type, 9 volt
alkaline battery. Data can be output through an RS-232 port and printed on a
Brown & Sharpe SPC printer.
