AX14-60 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. These are indicated firstly as a composite
surface then as constituent parts.
