Paper Abstract

The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) virtual/physical surface roughness calibration standard consists of physical specimens whose surfaces are manufactured by a numerically controlled diamond-turning process using digitized profiles. These standards are designed for checking the characteristics and algorithms of surface measuring systems, and for sensing the amount of distortion of the surface information flow though different measuring systems. The digitized profiles can also be used for remote instrument calibration and surface measurement unification. The design, manufacture, test results, and potential uses of the NIST prototype specimens are discussed.
