3/25/2020 Surface measurement: Selecting the correct filter - Mahr Metrology
Otherwise: choice of cut-off wavelength λc according to Rz and /or Ra
If the selection of λc = 0.8 already leads to a positive result, it must be ascertained whether or not the next smaller λc value is also compliant
with the standard specifications: For a filter setting according to standards, the smallest possible λc value must always be selected that matches
the table values according to ISO 4288.
Cut-off wavelength λc
If the upstream and downstream distances also have the length of the cut-off wavelength λc, the scanning distance of a roughness
measurement has a total length of 7 limit wavelengths. This property is, however, device-specific: there are surface measurement devices, such
as the MarSurf PS 10, in which the roughness scanning distance is only 6 limit wavelengths. That is, when the pre- and post-travel are only half a
cut-off wavelength. This dependency of the scanning distance from the measuring device is not at variance with the standard, since the standard
defines only the length of the measuring path, but not the length of the scanning path.
Visual inspection and / or nail test – test area clean, periodic or aperiodic?
Automatic selection of λc, if possible – otherwise: λc selection after visual inspection, experience or tolerance specification
Possibly. Correction of λc according to ISO table
Repetition of the measurement with next shorter λc-value – important especially in case of tolerance excesses!
The ISO 4288 standard provides precise specifications for a standardized selection of the cut-off wavelength λc for periodic and aperiodic surface
profiles.
Average roughness Rz
The average roughness depth Rz is the arithmetic mean of the individual roughness values: The sum of the Rzi values is divided by the number
of measured individual measuring distances Ir. Like Rmax, Rz is a measure of the surface roughness perpendicular to the test surface. Rz,
however, depends less than Rmax on individual profile features: For repeat measurements, Rz values scatter less than Rmax values.

3/25/2020 Surface measurement: Selecting the correct filter - Mahr Metrology
The individual depth Rzi is the sum of the height of the largest profile point and the depth of the deepest profile of the roughness profile R
within a single measuring section lr. The maximum roughness depth Rmax is the largest individual roughness depth within the total measuring
section. Rmax is a measure of the surface roughness perpendicular to the test surface. Of all the vertical parameters used in practice for the
assessment of the roughness, it depends most heavily on individual profile features (feature = profile tip or profile or outlier). It may be used – as
is the average roughness depth Rz – to replace the roughness Rt, which is no longer used today.
Important note:
The characteristic parameter Rmax is mentioned in ISO standards only in the general standard ISO 4288 and is referred to as Rz1max. (The
German Association of the Automotive Industry VDA, however, also rejects the use of Rz1max and recommends the designation “Rmax”.)
