Roughness average is measured in microinches, micrometers, or roughness grade.
Roughness Grade
A classification system for the surface texture of objects, typically measured by the average machined surface roughness.
Microinches
A unit of length used in engineering and machining that equals one millionth of an inch, often used to specify surface finish.
Micrometers
Precision measuring instruments used to measure very small dimensions with high accuracy.
- Identify the terms and acronyms associated with surface textures, such as roughness average.
- Explain the units of measurement employed for defining surface textures, such as micrometers and microinches.
