Portable Roughness Measurement Instrument

The roughness measuring instrument records the profile fluctuation data by moving a probe across the surface of an object and calculates surface texture parameters. It is used to detect the smoothness of material surfaces and is applied in tests for coating adhesion and the evaluation of printing quality texture.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the measurement range and accuracy with sample characteristics, and ensure the probe material is suitable for the hardness of the surface being measured. Pay attention to the instrument's calibration cycle and environmental interference resistance, as well as interface compatibility with existing data systems. Portable models are suitable for on-site testing, while benchtop models are ideal for fixed laboratory use.
