DIN-Taschenbuch 488

The 2nd edition of DIN Taschenbuch 488 on surface texture within the Geometric Product Specification (GPS) comprises 20 relevant documents from this technical field. These include twelve newly included and three revised standards. The collection covers a broad thematic spectrum: from standards relating to terminology and parameters to extraction, adjustment and calibration, right through to metrological characteristics and process descriptions, offering a wealth of valuable information spread over well over 700 pages.

The compendium of standards provides insights on the concepts and applications of filtration, the use of profiles and form deviations. The wide variety of documents included makes DIN Taschenbuch 488 particularly valuable for day-to-day professional practice.

The following subject areas are covered:

• profiled surface texture
• areal surface texture
• surface imperfection
• measurement equipment
• filtration

The book also provides an overview of the documents that are no longer included in this edition.

Extensive changes to the surface texture standards

The diversity of the technical field is also reflected in its extensive and dynamic standards landscape: The 20 documents included address a wide range of aspects and areas of application and feature 12 newly included standards and two revised standards.

The changes in this collection of standards are as follows:

• 12 standards newly included
  The 2nd edition of “Geometrische Produktspezifikation (GPS) – Oberflächenbeschaffenheit” now includes two further documents for filtration. The three parts of the DIN EN ISO 21920 series of standards have been newly included, providing information on surface profiled surface texture characteristics determined using the profile method. Three new standards from the DIN EN ISO 25178 series on areal surface texture complement these documents.

• 2 revised standards
  The DIN EN ISO 12179 standard on the calibration of stylus instruments is included both in its current version and also in draft form. The DIN EN ISO 16610-21 standard on linear profile filters has been amended and revised.

With its practice-oriented and wide-ranging selection, this comprehensive standards handbook is a valuable aid for anyone requiring ready access to standards on surface texture in their day-to-day work.

Newly included standards:

• DIN EN ISO 12179
• DIN EN ISO 16610-1, -31
• DIN EN ISO 21920-1, -2, -3
• DIN EN ISO 25178-1, -2, -70, -72, -600, -700

Revised standards:

• DIN EN ISO 12179
• DIN EN ISO 16610-21
