Surface-Finish Scales
Compare your surface finish to one of the swatches on these scales. The finishes are expressed in microinches (µ").
30-swatch scale comes with a chart to correlate the finishes with CLA and ISO N scales.
Economy Surface-Finish Scales
Compare your surface finish to one of the swatches on this scale. The finishes are expressed in microinches (µ").
| No. of Swatches | Scale | For Surface Type | Surface Finish Range, microinch | Lg. | Wd. | Material | Each | |
| 18 | AA, Ra | Flame Cut, Ground, Milled, Turned | 16-500 | 5" | 3 1/2" | Plastic | 000000 | 000000 |
Surface-Finish Scales with Certificate of Calibration
This scale comes with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states it has passed a test for accuracy. Compare your surface finish to one of the swatches on the scale. The finishes are expressed in microinches (µ").
| No. of Swatches | Scale | For Surface Type | Surface Finish Range, microinch | Lg. | Wd. | Material | Each | |
| 22 | Ra | Ground, Lapped, Milled, Profiled, Turned | 2-500 | 2" | 5 3/8" | Nickel Alloy | 0000000 | 0000000 |
Surface-Roughness Testers
These units test for the most popular parameters, such as Ra, Rp, and Rq. You can also set an upper and lower limit for go/no-go readings, or test for a specific standard, such as ANSI, ISO, JIS, or VDA. Tester can save up to 10 readings and can take 1,000 readings on a single charge. It has an RS-232C port for a direct connection to your PC.
Use the SPC data output cable (sold separately) to connect your tester to a Mitutoyo miniprocessor.

Gloss Meters
Confirm that each product is as shiny as the last. These meters measure the gloss of paint and coatings as well as metal, ceramic, and granite surfaces. All come with a USB cord to transfer data to PCs.
Meters with a 60° field of view can evaluate the gloss of most standard, semi-gloss surfaces.
Meters with a 20°, 60°, and 85° field of view can evaluate low-gloss/matte and high-gloss surfaces in addition to semi-gloss surfaces—their gloss measuring range is 10 times as broad as meters with only a 60° field of view. They’re compatible with a free app that lets you use your Android device to start and stop recording and send data using Bluetooth.
These meters come with a calibration block, and you should calibrate them before each reading. Lay the block on a flat surface and press the calibration button on your meter. Position the meter on top of the block, and your meter will calibrate.
