About ISO Surface Roughness Comparator
ISO Surface Roughness Comparator
Caltech india offers grit blasting and shot blasting comparator.
A precision Nickel comparator plate which conforms to International Standard ISO 8503 for grit and shotblast surface roughness comparison measurement. Popular comparators for grit blasting comparison or shot blasting comparison
When steel has been blast cleaned, the surface consists of random irregularities with peaks and valleys that are not easily characterized. Experts have recommended that the profile should be identified as dimpled (shot blast) or angular (grit blast) and that they should be graded as Fine, Medium or Coarse with each grade being defined by limits specified in ISO 8503, these characteristics are considered to give sufficient distinguishing features for most painting requirements.
Versatility Across Machining EnvironmentsEngineered for diverse tasks, the ISO Surface Roughness Comparator suits machine shops, educational settings, research labs, and quality assurance departments. Its selection of specimens includes various surface finishes, allowing for comprehensive tactile and visual comparisons, regardless of machining method.
Effortless and Accurate Surface InspectionWith a robust, easy-to-carry design and no requirement for external power, this comparator offers users the advantage of immediate visual assessment. Its precision-ground specimens guarantee reliable accuracy as per ISO standards, delivering confidence in surface quality evaluation.
FAQs of ISO Surface Roughness Comparator:
Q: How is the ISO Surface Roughness Comparator used for surface assessment?
A: This tool is used by visually and tactually comparing the workpieces surface against precision-ground reference specimens on the comparator plate. Each specimen represents a specific roughness value, allowing quick identification of the surface finish within the Ra 0.05 to 3.2 m range.
Q: What applications benefit most from the ISO Surface Roughness Comparator?
A: The comparator is especially valuable in machine shops, inspection facilities, educational institutes, and research settings. It enables operators, students, and professionals to verify and compare surface finishes across turned, ground, and milled parts without the need for electronic instruments.
Q: When should I use the surface roughness comparator during the machining process?
A: It should be used during and after machining operations to verify that the surface finish meets the required specification. Frequent checks help maintain product quality and avoid costly rework.
Q: Where can the ISO Surface Roughness Comparator be stored or transported?
A: Thanks to its pocket-sized build and protective case, the comparator can be conveniently transported or stored in a toolbox, machine shop drawer, or even carried between workstations and field inspection sites.
Q: What is the process for comparing a specimens finish to my workpiece?
A: Simply place the workpiece next to the relevant reference specimen on the plate. Compare both the visual appearance and tactile feel to select the most similar roughness, ensuring quick and dependable surface evaluation.
Q: What are the benefits of using a manual, non-electronic comparator over digital gauges?
A: Manual comparators require no power or calibration, are immune to environmental interferences, and provide immediate reference without complex setup. This simplicity and reliability make them practical for routine inspections.
Q: Who can supply the ISO Surface Roughness Comparator in India?
A: Dealers, distributors, manufacturers, exporters, importers, service providers, suppliers, and traders across India offer this tool for sale, supporting a broad range of industrial and educational needs.
