Question

Which of the following provides a quick-fix means of conducting an initial investigation before attempting a major investigation of surface quality?

• A. Tomlinson surface meter
• B. Taylor–Hobson talysurf
• C. Light interference microscope
• D. Profilometer

Hint:

Profilometers are commonly used for fast, non-destructive surface quality assessments, offering both high resolution and ease of use.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

A profilometer is used to quickly measure surface roughness and profile. It is an efficient tool for conducting initial investigations of surface quality, allowing for rapid evaluation of surface characteristics before performing more detailed studies.
