Various Methodologies For Assessment Of Surface Quality<br>
<br>

<strong>Abstract</strong><br>
In almost all manufacturing processes, surface roughness plays an important role for the assessment of quality of 
the product. In any production process, an evaluation of the surface roughness is very essential. Many ways of measuring the 
surface roughness have been explored at one time or another. Some of these methods have sunk without any trace, because 
of the inherent disadvantages.  In other cases, additional methods have been developed to deal with difficult measurement 
problems. The roughness of a surface cannot be easily  defined by a single parameter  or by any  intrinsic property of the 
surface. The surface roughness exists in two principal planes: one at right angles to the surface, which  is characterised by 
some kind of height, and the second in the plane of the surface, which is characterised by some kind of wavelength. Thus, 
there are two sets of limitations to each roughness-measuring instrument or technique: (i) the largest and smallest difference 
of heights, which it will resolve and (ii)  the longest and shortest wavelengths, with which it copes.  In this paper, various 
methodologies adopted in the past and at present are discussed briefly.
