This book is intended to give the reader an insight into the basics of surface texture and its measurement. To make this book as practically useful as possible we will concentrate on the one, almost universal, method of measurement - by means of stylus instruments.
The principles of stylus measurement will be dealt with in some detail while other methods will be described briefly, chiefly for their interest and the way that certain properties of surface texture are utilized for measurement.
Introduction, rough and smooth
The surface rexture, roughness, waviness and form
