PCE-RT 1200 Roughness Tester
portable meter for the fast detection of roughness (Ra, Rz, Rq y Rt)
with large display and RS-232 port

The PCE-RT 1200 roughness tester meets all the expectations to detect the surface roughness. With the PCE-RT 1200 roughness tester you can analyze different material surfaces. The PCE-RT 1200 roughness tester can measure up to 4 different roughness parameters and transfer these data to a PC ( via the optional software). This is recommended if the PCE-RT 1200 roughness tester is used for series measurements in order to control the entry of goods from suppliers, or to determine the quality control of the products at the laboratory. Additionally, you can order a laboratory calibration and an ISO certificate (at extra cost). If there are any questions about this roughness tester PCE-RT 1200, please have a look at the technical specification below or call: UK customers +44(0) 23 809 870 30 / US customers +1-410-387-7703. Our engineers and technicians will gladly advise you regarding the penetrometers or any other products in terms of regulation and control, or scales and balances of PCE Instruments.

-4 determinable roughness parameters

Rz: average depth roughness
The depth of average roughness Rz is the arithmetic average of the lowest roughness depth of different adjacent measuring sections.

Ra: arithmetic average of the absolute values
Ra is a roughness parameter used worldwide. It is the arithmetic value of absolutes values of the profile variations within the measuring section. The measured numerical value is always lower than the Rz obtained in the same profile roughness.
