  • Mean Peak to Valley Height (Rtm, Rz)
    Mean peak to valley height is the difference between the highest peak and lowest valley in each sample on the evaluation length. Usually, the assessment length is divided into five sampling or cutoff lengths. Rtm is not as sensitive a single high peak or low valley measurement of the profile
  • Maximum Roughness Depth (Rmax, Ry)
    Maximum roughness depth refers to Rmax or Ry. Rmax is the maximum peak to valley profile height. Rmax, Ry, Rz1max or Rymax has the highest value of all peak to valley surface texture parameters. The single roughness depths are first determined by measuring the peak to valley distance within each
  • Measuring Surface Slope Error on Precision Aspheres (.pdf)
    Optical designers are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of specifying and tolerancing slope errors on optical surfaces, especially aspheric surfaces. Slope errors can degrade system optical performance - in some cases even if the peak to valley surface figure errors meets the optical
  • Multiaxial fatigue models the real world
    is minimal and that uniaxial conditions exist. Mobility refers to a stress factor with a wide range of excursions -- it's not stationary along one plane. Stress cycles that show mobility should be eliminated with peak-and-valley-slicing because they have no influence on damage to the component under test
  • Straightness Measurement
    . Straightness can be measured using the minimum zone or least-squares methods. With a least-squares method, a reference or centerline is fitted to the surface or feature. The areas above and below the reference line are equal and kept to a minimum separation. The highest peak-to-valley measurement normal
  • Flatness
    , and kept to a minimum separation. The highest peak-to-valley normal measurement provides an indication of part flatness. Flatness can also be analyzed with the minimum zone calculation method. The surface data to be analyzed is enclosed by two parallel planes with only minimal separation. The level
  • Using Optical Flats
    in fractions of a reference wavelength, 632.8nm. A 1/20 wave flat will have a maximum peak to valley deviation of 632.8/20 or 31.64nm. We offer five different levels of accuracy for our single surface flats: 1/4 wave, 1/10 wave, 1/20 wave, 1/60 wave and 1/100wave. For our dual surface flats, 1/4, 1/10
