The Subcommittee is charged with the responsibility of establishing surface texture Symbols, and methods for specifying them on engineering drawings. ‘The basis for this Stndard is ASME B46.1-1995, Surface Texture, which covers other subjects related to surface texture, such as definitions of terms. instrumentation, precision reference specimens. roughness. comparison specimens, and reference matertal such as notes ‘on use and interpretation of profiling instruments, control and production of surface texture, and other methods of specification and measurement of surface qualities. ‘This revision is also based on a review of and conforms in most respects. with the Intemational standard ISO. 1302:1992, Technical Drawings—Method of Indicating Surface Texture The following is a summary of the significant changes made to the 1978 Edition of this Standard (a) The waviness designation is invoked by W, and a value placed in the symbol; (b) coughness values other than R, now have a place in the symbol: fc} other parameters can be invoked by a note; (d) the location in the symbol for designating processes now conforms with ISO 1302:1992; (2) the roughness cutoff or sampling length no longer has 2 default value of 0.8 mm (030 in.) Suggestions for improvement of this Standard will be welcome.

It includes methods for controlling roughness, waviness, and lay bby providing a set of symbols for use on drawings, specifications, or other documents (see Fig. 1). This Standard does not specify the means by which the surface texture is to be produced or measured. 1.2 Units. The units shall be consistent with the other units used on the drawing or document. The numeric values expressed in this Standard are stated in SI metric and are to be regarded as standard. It should be understood that US. customary units could equally have been used without prejudice to the principles established. Approximate nonmetric equivalents are shown for refer~ ence in ASME B46.1 1.3 Application ‘When required from a functional standpoint, the desired surface characteristics shall be specified. Where no surface texture control is specified, the surface produced is satisfactory provided it is within the Limits of size (and form) specified in accordance with ASME. ‘Y14.5M. Surface texture values, unless otherwise speci fied, apply to the finished surface. Preferably, there should always be some maximum value of the desired surface characteristic, cither noted specifically or by default (for example, in the manner of the “UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED” note shown in Fig. 2). 1.4 Definitions and Description of Measurement Methods This Standard dees not provide surface texture defini tions or measurement methods. These subjects are de= fined in ASME B46.1 2 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS When the following American National Standards referred to in this Standard ase superseded by a revision approved by the American National Standards Institue, Inc. the revision shall apply. The listed standards apply to the extent referenced herein ASME B46.1-1995, Surface Texture (Surface Roughness, Waviness and Lay) ASME Y14.2M - 1992, Line Conventions and Lettering ASME Y14.5M - 1994, Dimensioning and Tolerancing 3 SURFACE TEXTURE SYMBOL 3.1. Symbol ‘The symbol used to designate control of surface texture is shown in Fig. I(a). Where surface texture symbols are used with values, the symbol must be drawn with the horizontal extension as show in Fig. Ue). Symbols used without values must have their ‘meaning explained in a note on the drawing (see Fig. 2). 3.1.1 Material Removal Required or Prohibited. The surface texture symbol is modified ‘when necessary 10 require oF prohibit removal of mate~ rial. When it is necessary to indicate that a surface inyst be produced by removal of material by machining, specify the symbol shown in Fig. 1(b). When required, the minimum amount of material t0 be removed specified as shown in Fig. 1(¢). Whea it is necessary to indicate that a surface must be produced without material removal, specify the machining prohibited sym- bol as shown in Fig. I(d). If the symbols are used ‘without values they must have their meaning explained in a note on the drawing (sce Fig. 2) 3.1.2 Symbol Proportions. ‘The rcommended proportions for drawing the surface texture symbol are shown in Fig. 1(f). The lewer height and line width should be the same as that prescribed for dimensions and dimension lines. See ASME Y14.2M. 3.1.3 Symbol Location, The point of the symbol shall be om a line representing the surface, an extension line of the surface, or a leader line disected to the surface, or to an extension line. The symbol may be specified following 2 diameter dimension. The long leg (and extension) shall be to the right as the drawing is read (reading direction practices are set forth in ASME Y14.5M, and line practices are in ASME Y14.2M.)

In this case, a general note must be added to the Grawing which applies to each surface texture symbol specified without values. Soe Fig. 2 3.2 Control ‘When the symbol is used, it affects the entire surface defined by dimensioning. Areas of transition, such as chamfers and fillets, shall conform with the roughest adjacent finished area unless otherwise indicated. 3.2.1 Plated or Coated Surfaces. Drawings or specifications for plated or coated parts shall indicate ‘whether the surface texture values apply before, after, or both before and after plating or coating. 4 APPLICATION OF SYMBOLS AND VALUES 4-1 Value Application Include in the symbol only those values required to specify and verify the required surface texture character ists. The units used shall he the same as that used ‘or the drawing in general. The configuration of the symbol and applied relevant requirements shown shall be as shown in Fig. 3. 4.2 Measurements Measurements, unless otherwise specified, shall apply in a direction which gives the maximum reading: gener- ally accross the lay. 4.8 Roughness Average [R,) ‘The principal parameter specified for roughness is the roughness average, Ry. defined in ASME B46.1. Its value is shown in position a” of the surface texture symbol in Fig. 3. 4.4 Roughness Cutoff or Sampling Length Standard ratings are listed in Section 9 of ASME 46.1 with some selection criteria given in Section 3 of ASME B46.1, Drawings prepared six months after the date: of issuance of ASME B46,1-1995 shall state the roughness cutoff or sampling length in position “c™ of Fig. 3 NOTE: Price w the adoption of ASME B36.1:1995 the deta rating as 08 mm if 90 other rating was sate, 4.5 Roughness Parameters Other Than Ry Roughness parameters other than R, are designated {0 the right [position (©) in Fig. 3] of the cutoff rating.

If a surface must be produced by one pasticular process or a series of processes, they shall be specified as shown in Fig. 6(b). Where a surface requirement is needed on a portion of a designated surface, a note should be added at the symbol giving the requirements and the area involved.
