Profile meters are instruments enabling to measure surface irregularities with different types. It is important in cases when it is required to establish credibly the surface processing degree. Up-to-date instruments characterized with the high level of lateral resolution such as non-contact profile meters in which this factor is less than 1 micrometer enable to perform this operation.
It is important to measure irregularities before protection coat application because the increased peak-form character of the profile considerably influences on the degree of adhesion of a coating to a base. Insufficiently high adhesion observed in cases of increased roughness leads to formation of pitting corrosion spots which eventually may spread on the whole surface which affects performance capabilities and safety of materials and structures.
An optical profilometer uses the technology of the axial colorless light chromatic aberration. Such instrument can be used separately or as a visualizer for other instruments. A laser profilometer uses a laser beam for surface researches. They are high precision instruments widely used in the present-day industry due to the optimal combination of high performance characteristics, reliability, accuracy of research results and functionality.
Non-contact profilometers have the following roughness measurement advantages:
Instruments determining roughness values are widely used in enterprises in the sphere of machine or equipment manufacture where faultless finishing of surfaces of operating mechanisms is important as it influences their resistance to wear.
ProfLabKZ proposes to buy high-precision non-contact and contact profilometers to research profile irregularities of any surfaces. Equipment price is determined by its type and grade. Use the comparison function to select an instrument with optimal characteristics to solve the required problems.
