Roughness Measurement

Roughness measurement assesses the microscopic unevenness or texture of a surface. It quantifies how smooth or rough a material is by analyzing tiny peaks and valleys, often using specialized instruments like profilometers. This measurement is important in industries such as manufacturing, automotive, and aerospace, where surface finish can impact performance, durability, and aesthetics. By providing precise data on surface irregularities, roughness measurement helps ensure products meet quality standards and function effectively in their intended applications.
