Geometrical Product Specifications (GPS) - Surface Texture: Profile - Part 2: Terms, Definitions and Surface Texture Parameters
Also Known As:
A thorough foundation for identifying and describing surface texture in technical product documentation is provided by the DIN EN ISO 21920-2 standard. It aspires to create an industry-wide language and comprehension of surface texture.
The standard defines a number of terms relating to surface texture and provides concise and unambiguous descriptions for each term. This guarantees that manufacturers, suppliers, and clients all understand and communicate surface texture requirements consistently. The standard aims to prevent misunderstandings and potential problems in product specifications by providing a shared understanding of words.
The standard also offers a collection of surface texture metrics that can be used to quantitatively define a surface's properties. These parameters cover waviness, roughness, and profile-related characteristics. The standard enables a consistent method for assessing and contrasting surface textures by outlining these factors.
