TVET Surface Roughness Testers

Roughness is an important parameter when trying to find out whether a surface is suitable for a certain purpose.
Rough surfaces often wear out more quickly than smoother surfaces.
Rougher surfaces are normally more vulnerable to corrosion and cracks, but they can also aid in adhesion.
A roughness tester is used to quickly and accurately determine the surface texture or surface roughness of a material.
A roughness tester shows the measured roughness depth (Rz) as well as the mean roughness value (Ra) in micrometers or microns (µm).
Measuring the roughness of a surface involves applying a roughness filter.
Different international standards and surface texture or surface finish specifications recommend the use of different roughness filters.
When measuring the roughness of a surface, the sensor is placed on the surface and then uniformly slides along the surface by driving the mechanism by the sharp built-in probe.
This roughness causes displacement of the probe, which results in change of inductive amount of induction coils so as to generate analogue signal, which is in proportion to the surface roughness at output end of phase-sensitive rectifier.
The exclusive DSP processes and calculates and then outputs the measurement results on LCD.
