    Surface Finishes
    Measurement of surface finishes is done with instruments called profilometers.
    Experience proves that measurement of surface finishes by comparison using a surface finish
    gauge does not give an error above 2 CH classes.
    The criteria of roughness are the Ra (Europe) CLA (UK) AA (USA)
    To obtain a grading of roughness, Charmilles has defined a CH scale, which is however
    cross referenced with the standards that are in common use.

    Definition of Roughness criteria


    No CH = 20 log (10 Ra) (m)
    Some significant rules and figures
    1 m Ra = CH20
    10 m Ra = CH40
    If Ra = Ra x 2 CH = CH+6
    ex:
    1 m Ra = CH20
    2 m Ra = CH26
    3 m Ra = CH32
    The ratio
    between 2 successive CH units is 1.12
    The difference
    between 2 successive CH units is 12.2%

    N5

    The MAX Rt: roughly equal to 8 x Ra


    The mean Rt: is the arithmetic mean of the
    5 Max Rt recorded on the 5 sample lengths
    selected.
    (For establishing the technology: 0.8mm)
    Mean Rt = 5 x the Ra value

    N6
    Note:
    In surface finish measurements a tolerance
    of + 2 CH units is accepted.

    N7

    Further note:
    The American and English standards admit
    the following relationship between the
    values V(RMS) and V(Ra):
    V(RMS) = 1.11 V(Ra)

    N8

    N9

    The French standard NF 05051 is tied in


    with the ISO 1302 standard concerning
    classes of surface finish.
