Roughness Tester PCE-RT 2300
The roughness tester PCE RT 2300 is designed to measure the roughness of surfaces. This device features a removable motorized sensor, allowing it to measure surface roughness even on small or narrow profiles. The measured values are displayed on a large LCD screen. The roughness tester is powered by an internal battery, which can be recharged using a conventional USB power adapter.
The detachable motorized sensor is connected to the main unit via a cable and is equipped with a diamond stylus. The stylus applies a maximum force of 4 mN on the surface to measure roughness. The roughness tester complies with ISO, ANSI, and JIS standards for roughness measurement instruments.
Key information about the roughness measuring device:
Rz = Average Roughness Depth**
Rz is the arithmetic mean of the largest individual seam depths of several adjoining individual measuring sections.
Ra = Arithmetic Mean Roughness**
Ra is a widely recognized and internationally applied roughness parameter. It represents the arithmetic mean of the absolute values of profile deviations within the reference line. The Ra value is always smaller than the Rz value for the same roughness profile.
Rt = Maximum Roughness**
Rt is the distance between the highest and the lowest points within the measuring section.
Rq = Square Mean Roughness**
Rq, also known as RMS (Root Mean Square), is the root mean square of all ordinate values within the individual measurement distance \( l \).
