Surface Texture Answer Book Now Available

June 8, 2021
A new resource makes it easier to find answers to surface texture related concepts and applications. The Surface Texture Answer Book answers more than 100 commonly-asked questions regarding surface texture measurement, analysis, interpretation, specification, and application.

“Surface texture is more than just a number from a measurement device,” said Carl Musolff, co-author. “It’s a microscopic world with huge implications for many industries and applications. Our goal with this book is to help technicians and engineers quickly address their questions, regardless of their level of experience with surface analysis. But more than that, we want this book to be a learning resource that will benefit readers far beyond their immediate need.”

“Every day in my work I answer questions like, ‘What is filtering?’ and ‘What is waviness?’ said Mark Malburg, co-author and president of Digital Metrology Solutions. “These are important questions about measuring and specifying surfaces, most of which are not taught in schools. We found there was a real need for a resource to directly address these kinds of questions in a user-friendly, non-academic way. This book includes hundreds of figures to help make texture visual, which we’ve found is the best way to help readers grasp and retain these concepts.”

The Surface Texture Answer Book draws on information from numerous resources, as well as the authors’ combined 70 years of industry experience. Topics focus primarily on two-dimensional measurement techniques, which represent the vast majority of surface texture measurements in industry today. The book also touches on some important aspects of 3-dimensional (areal) measurement, which is becoming more prevalent in development and industrial applications.

“We believe that this book clarifies a lot of the concepts, and misconceptions, relating to surface texture,” said Musolff. “We hope readers will be able to come to the book for a particular answer, then encounter other topics along the way that expand their knowledge as well.”

The 400-page paperback book is available through amazon.com (amazon.com/Surface-Texture-Answer-Book/dp/1736846825/) and through the digitalmetrology.com website.
