1 GENERAL In cases of disagreement regarding the interpretation ofsurface texture measurements, itis recommended that measurements with skidless stylus based instruments with Gaussian filtering be used as the basis for interpre- tation. The following keymeasurementparameters must be established for proper surface texture specification and measurement. Thus in some cases it may be necessary to specify both surface roughness and waviness. When surface waviness control is important, digital bandpass filtering is applied similarly as it is for roughness filtering. For waviness, the waviness short wavelength cutoff   and waviness long wavelength cutoff  are applied to obtain the waviness profile. An important consideration is the correspondence of the roughness long wavelength cutoff and the waviness short wavelength cutoff.  Specific recommendations for stylus force may be found in para. 3-3.5.2 of the ASME B46.1-2009 standard. 5 MEASUREMENT PARAMETERS Many surface finish height parameters are in use throughout the world. From the simplest specification of a single roughness parameter to multiple roughness and waviness parameter specifications of a given sur- face, product designers have many options for speci- fying surface texture in order to control surface function. Between these extremes, designers should consider the need to control roughness height (e.g., Ra or Rz), roughness heightconsistency (e.g., Rmax), and waviness height (e.g., Wt). Waviness is a secondary longer wave- length feature that is only of concern for particular sur- face functions and finishing processes. A complete description of the various texture parameters may be found in Section 1 of the B46.1-2009 standard. 6 SURFACE TEXTURE SYMBOLS Once the various key measurement parameters are established, ISO 1302:2002, may be used to establish the proper indication on the relevant engineering drawings.
1-1.1 Scope. This Standard is concerned with the geometric irregularities of surfaces. It defines surface texture and its constituents: roughness, waviness, and lay. It also defines parameters for specifying surface texture. The terms and ratings in this Standard relate to sur- faces produced by such means as abrading, casting, coat- ing, cutting, etching, plastic deformation, sintering, wear, erosion, etc. 1-1.2 Limitations. This Standard is not concerned with error of form and flaws, but discusses these two factors to distinguish them from surface texture. This Standard is not concerned with luster, appear- ance, color, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, hard- ness, subsurface microstructure, surface integrity, and many other characteristics which may govern functional considerations in specific applications. This Section does not recommend specific surface roughness, waviness, or type of lay suitable for specific purposes, nor does it specify the means by which these irregularities may be obtained or produced. Criteria for selection of surface qualities and information on instru- ment techniques and methods of producing, controlling, and inspectingsurfaces are included inthe othersections and in the appendices. Surface texture designations as delineated in this Stan- dard may not provide a sufficient set of indexes for describing performance. Other characteristics of engi- neering components such as dimensional and geometri- cal characteristics, material, metallurgy, and stress must also be controlled.
