| Erasure of deep valleys from roughness profile | |
Certain areas whch contain a valley deeper than the threshold and their adjacent data in roughness prifle were excluded from the calculation of roughness parameters and replaced by 0 (zero). Roughness parameters were calculated from the areas which is NOT excluded. |

| Relationship between surface roughness and grit number of coated abrasives | |
| Wood surfaces of Japanese oak(Quercus mongolica var. grosseserrata) were sanded by coated abrasives from P80-P400
, and then one series of them were painted
with poly-urethane based paint and the other
not coated. Primary profiles were measured by stylus method and then roughness profiles were obtained by using the Gaussian desital filter with cut-off value 2.5mm. Surface roughness of Ra, Ry, S, Sm were calculated from the roughness profiles. |
