Geometrical product specifications (GPS). Surface texture. Profile method. Calibration of contact (stylus) instruments. | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This International Standard applies to the calibration of the metrological characteristics of contact (stylus) instruments for the measurement of surface texture by the profile method as defined in ISO 3274. The calibration is to be carried out with the aid of measurement standards. Annex B applies to the calibration of metrological characteristics of simplified operator contact (stylus) instruments which do not conform with ISO 3274.
