History of surface texture metrology until the latest ISO 25178 standard on areal surface texture.
Introduction to ISO 25178, the standard on areal surface texture that describes parameters, instruments, etc.
The recent revision of ISO 25178-2 in December 2021 fixes several errors and introduces new parameters.
Areal field parameters from ISO 25178-2, with amplitude parameters (Sa, Sq, etc.) and spatial and hybrid parameters (Sdr, Sal, etc.).
Areal functional parameters on bearing ratio, Sk parameters, functional indices and volume parameters, largely used in the automotive industry.
Areal feature parameters calculated by segmentation, that allows the characterization of specific structures.
This video introduces the reasons why surface texture is specified and verified on engineered products, and gives the basic concepts you should know before using surface texture analysis. Duration: 10 min 58

Panorama of parameters defined in various standards for the evaluation of roughness and waviness profiles.
Introduction to the new standard that will modernize profilometry and that should replace all previous profile standards.
Introduction to the classical roughness parameters, in particular Ra, Rz or RSm, and their waviness and primary equivalent.
This standard is used in the automotive industry to caracterize profile motifs, close to functional requirements.
This standard specializes on functional stratified surfaces made by a multipass manufacturing process.
