Rv (ISO), Wv (ISO), Pv (ISO) – Average Valley / Dale Depth per ISO
Rv is the average valley depth of the roughness profile, as defined in ISO standards. It reports the valley or dale depth excluding noise, dirt, odd scratches, etc., that aren’t part of the surface we care about. The same calculation can be performed on the waviness profile (Wv) or primary profile (Pv). Rp, Wp, Pp, … Read more
