Development of Methods for Characterisation of Roughness in Three Dimensions

Based on research funded by the European Commission, this important handbook provides a basis for a unified approach to three-dimensional surface finish assessment.

It covers a broad range of issues related to 3-D micro-topography, with particular emphasis on standardisation, measurement, characterisation and interpretation.

This reprint includes an updating introductory section.

This work is to be the basis for a 3D international standard.

An updated version of noted previous publication, it contains basis, for the first time, for a unified approach to the subject.
