Anders Liljeborg Gunnar Johannsen Measurement of toothpaste abrasion
Earlier measurements Photo diode HeNe laser Plexi-sample Voltmeter
Surface profilometer, KLA-Tencor P15 Diamond stylus, 2 micron radius Vertical resolution a few nanometers
117 mm 25 mm Blank profile 20 mm 20 mm
Compensated by fit of 3:rd order polynomial to 50 first and last points
Comparison with “blank” profile at lower end of plexi sample, note bad fit to the left, good fit to the right.
RA (Roughness Average) = mean deviation from mean depth value RA = sum ( abs( mean – y ) ) / length RA and mean depth computed for center 20% of profile
