class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arithmetic Average Roughness Height refers to the surface smoothness.&nbsp;The surfaces are not smooth. Every material possesses its surface roughness. Sometimes surfaces are finished deliberately to have high or low surface roughness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most commonly used parameter for measurement and interpretation of surface roughness is Arithmetic Average Roughness Height (AARH). AARH is the average height of irregularities, on the surface under observation, from the mean line as shown in the following figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inspection-for-industry.com\/images\/xArithmetic_Average_Roughness_Height.jpg.pagespeed.ic.pJX0iyC5AQ.webp\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The symbol Y1 to Y8 represents the peak heights which are measured from the mean line. Arithmetic Average Roughness Height is usually measured in micro-inches and denoted by symbol \u201cRa\u201d. There are various standards for the roughness of surfaces, set according to their mode of application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The equipment used for measurement of surface roughness is profilometer. There are two types of profilometers in use, contact type, and non-contact type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In contact type profilometer the roughness is measured by moving the material under profilometer stylus. However, newer equipment implies various other non-contact profilometry options such as optical and ultrasonic techniques.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Arithmetic Average Roughness Height in Flange<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and American National Institute (ANSI) defined specific roughness standards for the flanges. The surface finishes produce desired roughness at the face of a flange which ensures that it is compatible with the gasket and provides high-quality sealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ASME B16.5 standard is specific to flanges and flanged fittings. The standard contains requirements and recommendations related to flange bolting, flange gasket, and flange joints.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>AMSE Standards for Surface Roughness in Flange<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The surface finish as the flange face plays a key role in gasket\u2019s reliability and service life. According to ASME standards the serrated, serrated spiral and concentric flange face finish should have an average roughness of 125 \u00b5inch to 250 \u00b5inch (3.2 \u00b5m to 6.3 \u00b5m).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cutting tool used for imprinting the required roughness should have a radius of 0.06 inch (1.5mm) or larger. The groove density on the flange face should be from 45 grooves\/ inch to 55 grooves\/ inch (1.8 grooves\/ mm. to 2.2 grooves\/ mm.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are the standards for semi-metallic and nonmetallic gaskets. If average roughness of flange face is not according to the described standards, there will be no essential friction between the contacted surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It makes the gaskets susceptible to creep and tear after some time working under pressure. This will result in loss of bolt joint tightness and a possible leakage. The soft nonmetallic materials such as Poly-Tetra-Flouro-Ethylene (PTFE) plastics can be used for more comfortable facing and better creep resistance.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Permissible Imperfection Level in Roughness Standards<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sealing performance of gasket fitted between flanges depends on surface roughness (Arithmetic Average Roughness Height), the size of flange and pressure of bolting. According to ASME standards, the adjacent imperfections should be separated by a distance of at least 4 times the maximum radial projection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The radial projection can be evaluated by subtracting inner radius from the outer radius. The serrations should be on the same level, and the protrusion above them is not permitted. It can cause the adjacent serrations to loose hold of the gasket material and may result in creep and potential leakage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Classification of Flange Surface Roughness Based on their Finishes&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The standard finishes for required level of average roughness height on the flange face are described below.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Stock Finish<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This finish is used for general purpose flanging and is suitable for most of the ordinary service conditions. The pressure embeds the soft face of the gasket into the finish and results in the formation of a seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pressed contacted surface generates the high level of friction. The resultant \u201cRa\u201d value for the surface ranges from 125\u00b5inch to 500 \u00b5inch (125 \u00b5m to 12.5 \u00b5m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Spiral Serrated finish<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The spiral serrated finish resembles with the stock finish and is photographic spiral groove type. However, it is different from the stock finish because the angle of generation of Grove is \u201cV\u201d shaped kept at 45\u00b0 angle. They also produce roughness of 125 to 250 \u00b5inch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Smooth Finish<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this type of finish, the surface is smooth, and there are no apparent signs of grooves or tool marking. The smooth surface is generated by treating the stock surface with 0.8 mm (0.031 inch) round-nosed tool to make spiral groove of average depth 0.05mm (0.00197 inch).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AARH value for these gaskets ranges between Ra 125 \u00b5inch to 250 \u00b5inch (3.2 \u00b5m to 6.3 \u00b5m).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Coldwater Finish<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cold water finishes appear shiny to the naked eye and are very smooth. The AARH value for these flange surfaces is 85 \u00b5inch to 100 \u00b5inch. They are used with metal to metal contact. No gasket is used between the flanges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The average arithmetic roughness height values are very important during the selection of flanges and gasket materials. Higher the \u201cRa\u201d values depicts a more rough surface, while lower values represent smoother surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Return to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ptrotek.wordpress.com\/industrial-inspection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Industrial Inspection<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a4ec64d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a4ec64d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- ==================================================================== -->\n<!-- PtroTek High-Authority Technical Guide: What Is The Arithmetic Average Roughness Height -->\n<!-- Primary Keyword: what is the arithmetic average roughness height -->\n<!-- Standards: SSPC-PA 2, NACE SP0188, ISO 8501-1, ASTM D4285 -->\n<!-- ==================================================================== -->\n\n<article class=\"ptrotek-technical-guide\">\n\n  <!-- Executive Summary -->\n  <section class=\"technical-overview\">\n    <h2>Executive Summary &#038; Industrial Inspection Scope<\/h2>\n    <p>In demanding industrial environments across Oil, Gas, Petrochemical, Offshore, and Heavy Process Infrastructure, rigorous compliance with SSPC-PA 2, NACE SP0188, ISO 8501-1, ASTM D4285 is essential to ensure operational integrity, personnel safety, and compliance with statutory regulatory frameworks.
