  2. Flatness (manufacturing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatness_(manufacturing)

    The two-dimensional measures above find one-dimensional counterparts in straightness measures, [5] defined by ISO 12780 on a cross-section (the plane curve resulting from the intersection of the surface of interest and a plane spanned by the surface normal): least squares reference line; minimum zone reference lines; local straightness deviation

  3. Total indicator reading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_indicator_reading

    Whereas dial test indicators will give a foreshortened reading if their tips are on an angle to the surface being measured (cosine error), a drawing callout of FIM is defined as referring to the distance traveled by the extremity of the tip—not by the lesser amount that its lever-like action moves the needle.

  4. Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_dimensioning_and...

    Example of true position geometric control defined by basic dimensions and datum features. Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) is a system for defining and communicating engineering tolerances via a symbolic language on engineering drawings and computer-generated 3D models that describes a physical object's nominal geometry and the permissible variation thereof.

  5. Tolerance analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolerance_analysis

    Engineers analyze tolerances for the purpose of evaluating geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). Methods include 2D tolerance stacks, 3D Monte Carlo simulations , and datum conversions. Tolerance stackups or tolerance stacks are used to describe the problem-solving process in mechanical engineering of calculating the effects of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical_Product...

    Geometrical Product Specification and Verification (GPS&V) [1] is a set of ISO standards developed by ISO Technical Committee 213. [2] The aim of those standards is to develop a common language to specify macro geometry (size, form, orientation, location) and micro-geometry (surface texture) of products or parts of products so that the language can be used consistently worldwide.

  7. Surface metrology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_metrology

    they can measure surfaces through transparent medium such as glass or plastic film; non-contact measurement may sometimes be the only solution when the component to measure is very soft (e.g. pollution deposit) or very hard (e.g. abrasive paper). Vertical scanning: Coherence scanning interferometry; Confocal microscopy; Focus variation

  8. Surface roughness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_roughness

    The basic GD&T symbol for surface roughness. Surface roughness can be regarded as the quality of a surface of not being smooth and it is hence linked to human perception of the surface texture. From a mathematical perspective it is related to the spatial variability structure of surfaces, and inherently it is a multiscale property.

  9. Autocollimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocollimator

    An electronic autocollimator can be used in the measurement of straightness of machine components (such as guide ways) or the straightness of lines of motion of machine components. Flatness measurement of granite surface plates, for example, can be performed by measuring straightness of multiple lines along the flat surface, then summing the ...
