<strong>Surface</strong> Roughness Testing<br />

Pocket Surf Measurement Parameters<br />

Ra — Roughness Average<br />

The arithmetic average height of <strong>roughness</strong> irregularities measured from<br />

a mean line within the evaluation length (L).<br />

Rmax — Maximum Roughness Depth (per DIN)<br />

The largest of the 5 maximum peak-to-valley <strong>roughness</strong> depths in 5 successive<br />

sampling lengths. In the illustration below, Rmax (DIN) = Ry 4<br />

Rz — Mean Roughness Depth (per DIN),<br />

also known as Rtm<br />

The mean of 5 maximum peak-to-valley <strong>roughness</strong> depths in 5 successive<br />

sampling lengths<br />

Note: To fully meet the requirements of DIN 4768 for Rmax and Rz, probes<br />

having a stylus radius of .0002" (5 µm) are available.<br />

Ry — Maximum Roughness Depth<br />

For the evaluation length equaling one cutoff, it is the vertical distance between<br />

the highest peak and the deepest valley within the sampling length. For the<br />

evaluation length equaling 3 cutoffs, it is the largest of the 3 maximum<br />

peak-to-valley <strong>roughness</strong> depths in 3 successive sampling lengths.<br />
