Team,
It is better to go with Press-O-Film method. We can measure the grid blasted surface in the unit of " micron " Testex Press-O-Film replica tape can be used to measure the surface profile or roughness of grit blasted steel surfaces prior to painting. Find the "you tube" to understand easily

In my previous e-mail I mention that SA is roughness but that was wrong. As already mentioned by some other members SA is cleanness of surface after blasting. Unit for roughness is Ra or Rz, two different values, one measures an average roughness the other the maximum roughness, value to be used should be mentioned in the contract / coating specification. Both Ra and Rz will be measured in microns.

Onderwerp: Re: [MW:13281] Surface roughness measurement instruments. Could you pl. give the units for measuring the surface roughness. As per my client spec. it is mentioned as microns only. I think surface appearance after blasting should be SA 2 1/2 or SA 3 and should not be measured in microns. Be aware that the microns you mention is not the surface roughness but the coating layer thickness (DFT = Drie Film Thickness). For surface roughness you will have values like SA 2,5 microns or similar and in practice mostly the comparators are used for inspection prior to first layer of coating. After fist coating layer there is no need to measure the roughness anymore. Met vriendelijke groeten / Best Regards Pieper Quality Support & Inspection Dear Mr. Rao,
There are portable surface roughness measuring instruments to measure as required.
UK based Rank Taylor Hobson instruments are available in India.

When i go for Blasting inspection, contractor provided me profile comparator for surface roughness measurement. Contractor do Grit blasting in the shop. I need to measure surface roughness - 75-100 microns Painting system No#1 50-75 microns Painting system No#2
Queries Q 1: Comparator is enough for surface roughness measurements. Q2: Is any other tools available for roughness measurement?. Q3: What is the normal industry practice.
Pl. provide your valuable suggestions as i'm new for painting activities.
Rao. --
