Roughness Comparator
A tool to rank roughness achieved from very smooth to very rough
Surface Roughness Comparator – The Best Tool for Professionals
The Surface Roughness Comparator is a crucial tool for anyone needing to precisely measure and evaluate surface roughness. From subtle differences in smoothness to significant irregularities, this tool allows you to quickly and easily determine if a surface meets the required roughness standards.
Key Features of the Surface Roughness Comparator:
- Versatility: Made from blasted metal, the comparator presents various levels of roughness, making it a universal tool for diverse applications.
- Comprehensive Support: The comparator comes with an instruction manual and a certificate of conformity, ensuring quality and compliance with established standards.
- Wide Range: Allows for the arrangement of roughness from very smooth to very coarse, covering a broad spectrum of needs.
- Accurate Comparison: A manual test enables comparing the roughness of the examined surface with a standard, providing an accurate depiction of roughness differences.
- Standard Compliance: Includes four different roughness ranges, allowing adaptation to various industrial standards such as ISO 8503-1.
Abrasive Material Selection:
Two versions of the comparator are available, differing in the abrasive used:
- Grit: Ideal for a more precise assessment of surface irregularities and roughness.
- Shot: Excellent for evaluating the general level of roughness, especially on surfaces with larger irregularities.
