Global Excellence in Metrology Early / Obsolete Methods Maximum Permissible Value Rt (µm) • Triangle symbols are used on many drawings • This method is no longer valid and was cancelled in 1978 • It has been superseded by ISO 1301 Global Excellence in Metrology Triangle Symbols are obsolete. Use of N number to indicate surface finish indication is also obsolete. Graphical Symbols For Surface Texture 6.8 Conventional Surface Texture Symbol Global Excellence in Metrology The above slide shows the conventional method of indicating a surface finish requirement on a technical drawing, implying to someone measuring the surface that a maximum Ra value of 6.8µm is allowed. The symbol would also indicate the maximum allowable surface finish to the person producing the surface. This method of indication is open to a lot of interpretation. It does not tell the machinist how to achieve the required finish nor whether removal of any material to achieve the specified finish is allowed. No information is given to the person measuring the surface as to which parameter is being measured, which cut-off is to be used, which filter type should be used nor w
