Subject: New Traceability Methods in Form and Surface Roughness Measurements Workshop Announcement

The surface structure and form parameters of products obtained from manufacturing and production processes are important properties that need to be investigated for engineering and scientific studies. Today, in order to characterize surface parameters such as roundness, planarity, parallelism and surface roughness, instruments with needle-tipped and contact probes are used for roughness measurements and spherical and contact probes for form measurements. To ensure the reliability of these measurements, these instruments are calibrated using "special reference standards". In order to calibrate special reference standards, National Metrology Institutes carry out important scientific studies. The 18RPT01 ProbeTrace short project, in which a total of 10 countries are participating as project partners, coordinated by TÜBİTAK UME, which conducts research on the calibration of surface roughness and form device standards, started in September 2019 and will be completed in August 2023.

On May 16, 2023 in Belgrade, this workshop will show the current situation and problems for the calibration of form and surface roughness instruments and how these problems have been addressed by the work done in the 18RPT01 ProbeTrace project. In the next stage, the new methods studied in the project, which will also be included in the EURAMET Guidance documents, will be shared with the participants during the workshop. After informing the participants, which will consist of calibration laboratories, instrument manufacturers and precision parts manufacturing companies, the opinions of the participants will be taken with the discussions.
