This book offers a clear and unambiguous approach to Engineering Metrology from a practitioner's point of view. It looks at dimensional surface measurement and roundness, covering, how, where and when surfaces are measured, together with the appropriate techniques for their measurement. The author explores techniques common to surface microscopy and how surface texture and roundness instrumentation calibration methods are selected and employed. Through a comprehensive treatment of the subject, colour images and easy-to understand line diagrams, the reader will gain an insight into the techniques utilised in establishing surface and roundness analysis, across a broad spectrum of popular production processes.
