Minimum Roughness  
Material Removal Allowance  
Production Method/Treatment sf_symbols2.gif
Sampling Length  
Other Roughness Values  
Roughness Spacing  
Lay Direction
sf_circular.gif sf_crossed.gif sf_multi_directional.gif sf_parallel.gif
Circular Crossed Multi-Directional  
sf_perpendicular.gif sf_radial.gif sf_particulate.gif
