SX012/AXL012 Flange Facing and Grooving 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.
Page 58
SX012/AXL012 Flange Facing and Grooving 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 59
SX012/AXL012 Flange Facing and Grooving 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.
