GE Roughness Specimen J2

surface roughness measurement- GE 8651831G1 roughness specimen J2

GE 8651831G1 roughness specimens have been (historically) very popular in the measurement of surface texture. They show up in a lot of places… in documents and standard operating procedures, as well as for sale on eBay and industrial supply resellers.

Many of these specimens have been in use for a long, long time and definitely have some wear and tear.

But how good are they in today’s terms? We put a full set of well-used specimens under the ZeGage lens and are happy to share the datasets with you. They are interesting in several ways:

  1. for exploring the certified roughness values (expressed in “microinches”) on the certificate.
  2. for exploring various types of surface damage including deposits as well as scratches.
  3. for exploring the slope and spacing differences for surfaces which are said to have the “same” roughness values.
