Best Answer

surface roughness tester is the machine which used to measure the roughness of the surface using probes... roughness is nothing but the frictional force applied by the surface to the adjacent surface.. if roughness increases the amount of frictional force increases..

How does one measure the surface roughness of an object?

A roughness value can either be calculated or measured on a profile or on a surface. The profile roughness parameter are more common. The area roughness parameters give more significant values.


What is relative roughness?

Relative roughness is a measure of the surface roughness of pipe surfaces. It is the size of the roughness scaled by the diameter of the pipe or duct. Rel Roughness=e/D; where e is the measurement of the surface roughness and D is the diameter of the pipe. It is mainly used for calculating head losses in piping systems.


What is the difference between roughness and flatness?

The difference between roughness and flatness is that one, flatness, is the shape of an object. Roughness is the surface or texture of an object.

How do you determine what surface roughness is needed?

Depend on what you need in surface roughness. Some process like fluid flow through pipe would minimized the surface roughness of the pipe to reduce the pressure drop while for floor surface coating require friction to prevent slip and so it determine whether the roughness would provide enough friction to prevent person walking to slip. Different roughness might need if compare between dry and wet floor.
