Surface Roughness Gage
A surface roughness gage is a tool used to measure the texture on the surface of a material. By taking a measurement of the depth and width of different bumps and cavities, the surface roughness gage creates a mean roughness value and assesses both macro as well as micro-irregularities on a surface. This helpful tool is useful to determine the suitability of one material for a specific purpose based on the present roughness across the surface. The surface roughness gage comes with interchangeable probes that can be switched out depending on the intended use.
