BS EN ISO 13565-3:2000

Comprehensive Surface Texture Measurement Standard

BS EN ISO 13565-3:2000 is the essential British Standard for metrology and measurement of surface texture. Identical to ISO 13565-3:1998, this standard provides a robust framework for accurately assessing the surface characteristics of a wide range of materials and components.

Ensure Compliance with ISO 13565-3

Compliance with ISO 13565-3 is critical for manufacturers, engineers, and quality control professionals across numerous industries. This standard specifies the parameters and methods for evaluating the material ratio curve (Abbott-Firestone curve) of a surface, allowing for in-depth analysis of surface texture, bearing properties, and functional performance.

Accurate, Reliable Surface Analysis

• Defines the calculation method for the material ratio curve, a key indicator of surface texture
• Specifies the parameters and filters required for accurate curve generation
• Ensures consistent, repeatable surface texture measurements across different instruments and laboratories
• Enables detailed analysis of surface bearing properties, friction, and functional performance

Comprehensive Technical Specifications

BS EN ISO 13565-3:2000 covers a wide range of technical requirements and measurement procedures, including:

Surface Texture Parameters

• Calculation of the material ratio curve (Abbott-Firestone curve)
• Determination of surface texture parameters such as Rpk, Rvk, and Mr1/Mr2
• Specification of appropriate filters and cut-off lengths for accurate curve generation

Measurement Procedures

• Guidance on the selection of appropriate measurement instruments and techniques
• Recommendations for sample preparation and data acquisition
• Detailed instructions for data analysis and curve generation

Compliance and Quality Assurance

• Ensures consistent, reliable surface texture measurements across different laboratories and industries
• Supports quality control and process optimization efforts by providing a standardized framework for surface analysis
• Facilitates the exchange of technical data and information between manufacturers, suppliers, and customers

By adhering to the comprehensive requirements outlined in BS EN ISO 13565-3:2000, organizations can ensure the accuracy, repeatability, and traceability of their surface texture measurements, ultimately leading to improved product quality, performance, and compliance with industry standards.
