Interacting with surface texture data can lead to insights that roughness parameters alone may not provide. In this “Beyond Ra” post, find out what we can learn by interacting with surface data—and check out all the tools we have “beyond Ra” to help us understand what surfaces are telling us. https://lnkd.in/d4Dax6xi #metrology #measurement #tribology Digital Metrology Solutions, Inc.
When you start measuring form such as roundness to a sub micron level it is all about surface texture measurement

9moThanks Mark for sharing this insightful article. It’s really fascinating how “Ra” is abundantly used(misused) to describe a surface. I feel, overall filtering should be more discussed along with using parameters like Ra and how it relates to the functionality of the context where it is being used. Choosing different filtering methods may change the parameters significantly.
