Surface finish measurementSurface textureIn general, the term "surface texture" refers to the primary profile, roughness, waviness and other surface attributes such as the direction of the surface features (also referred to as the "lay" of the surface). ![]() Surface finish![]() Mainly refers to the "roughness" aspect of the surface. Procedures needed to calculate surface roughness
