Roughness Measurement

Hello, a bit more information would be helpful. Are you trying to get a feedback loop going to change or improve the pipe finish as the process continues? What kind of a finish are you looking for? Is the pipe reflective? How clean/dirty is the pipe while being created? By surface profile do you mean surface finish measured as RMS or AA or are you interested in some other parameter? Do you need to check the pipe in total or just want to sample? Are there issues of lay in the pipe, do you have to measure perpendicular to the lay to get a valid measurement? Sorry, lots of questions need to be answerred before we can start to develop a solution.

best regards

Hello!

The steelpipes are used in the offshore-industri. The steelpipes roughness is random and in the measure range of 100micrometer. After sandblasting the pipes are washed. The pipe is near white clean (Sa 2 1/5).

By surface profile i mean a picture off the surface in 2D or 3D where you can measure different parameter. We are interested in Ra,Ry,Rz and Peak Count.

We just want to sample a short distance on every pipe.

The steelpipes lying still when we measure the roughness.

The main goal is to get a feedback loop going to improve the sandblasting prosess.
