Abstract

This document is a guide to the calibration of contact stylus instruments. Methods for determining the measurement noise, flatness deviation, amplification coefficient, linearity and perpendicularity of the axes of areal surface topography measuring instruments are presented. The methods are compliant with draft international specification standards on areal surface texture.
