SURFACE TEXTURE SYMBOLS Fi
Lay: Symbols for designating the direction of lay are shown and interpreted in
Fig. 3.
Example Designations. — Figure 4 illustrates examples of designations of rough-
ness, waviness, and lay by insertion of values in appropriate positions relative to the
symbol. Where surface roughness control of several operations is required within a
given area, or on a given surface, surface qualities may be designated, as in Fig. 5(a).
Ifa surface must be produced by one particular process or a series of processes, they
should be specified as shown in Fig. 5(b). Where special requirements are needed

* Recommended
Surface texture values, unless otherwise specified, apply to the complete surface.
Drawings or specifications for plated or coated parts shall indicate whether the sur-
face texture values apply before plating, after plating or both before and after plating.
Include in the symbol only those values required to specify and verify the required
texture characteristics. Values should be in metric units for metric drawings and
nonmetric units for nonmetric drawings.
Roughness and waviness measurements, unless otherwise specified, apply in a
direction which gives the maximum reading; generally across the lay.

Roughness Average (R,): The preferred series of specified roughness average
values is given in Table 1.
Cutoff or Roughness Sampling Length: Standard values are listed in Table 2.
When no value is specified, the value 0.8 mm (0.030 in.) applies.
Waviness Height: The preferred series of maximum waviness height values is
listed in Table 3. Waviness is not currently shown in ISO Standards. It is included
here to follow present industry practice in the United States.
