Why is the roughness Ra expressed as 0.8, 1.6, 3.2, 6.3, 12.5?
Surface roughness Ra is a symbol often used by our machines. It is basically our old friend. If that drawing does not have it, it is estimated that the drawing will be scrapped. It is such a symbol for dealing with every day. Do you know why 0.8 is used , 1.6, 3.2, 6.3, 12.5, and not other numbers? I believe that members of the community have also encountered this confusion when they are learning and using it, but they have not studied the answer in detail. All of this must start with the great mathematics, and now I will explain it in detail.
