  • Page 73: Appendix Bsurface Metrology

    AX14-45 Flange Facing Machine APPENDIX B SURFACE METROLOGY First profile graphs of roughness texture were produced over fifty years ago by a German Engineer, Gustav Schmalz. His graphs allowed differential magnification of vertical and horizontal axes so that a visual assessment of surface could be made. These profile graphs did not provide the direct indications of magnitude required by workshops.
  • Page 74 AX14-45 Flange Facing Machine R.M.A. (Rq) Root Mean Square roughness is defined as: Sampling Lengths (Usually 0.08mrn) The length over which the mean line is fitted, this allows calculation of some surface parameters. Assessment Length Assessment length is the total length of surface to be assessed and is the sum of several sampling lengths Surface Form Most surfaces are made up of three classes of irregularities.
  • Page 75 AX14-45 Flange Facing Machine Micro Roughness Micro roughness (primary surface) is caused by the cutting action which is a combination of cutting, tearing, and surface fatigue. Waviness Waviness (secondary texture) is caused by feed rate of tool, or chatter/vibration. Form Error Form error (tertiary texture inaccuracies of machine such as slideway of arm lift.
