Surface Roughness Conversion

In Taiwan and China, usually we use metric "Ra" system for the surface roughness measurement. In USA, you can simply divide the inch roughness number by 40 to get the metric Ra number. For example, if the inch drawing specifies surface roughness 32. 32 / 40 = Ra 0.8 Surface roughness can be specified in different way of measure. Below is a conversion table of them. Ra
