Geometrical product specifications (GPS) - Surface texture: Areal - Part 73: Terms and definitions for surface defects on material measures (ISO 25178-73:2019)
This part of ISO 25178 deals with geometrical defects that may be present on the surfaces of material measures and calibration specimens conforming to ISO 5436-1 and ISO 25178-70. It defines classes of these geometrical defects, and defines terms for ways of responding to these defects.
This part of ISO 25178 is applicable as follows:
a) to help customers and users of material measures for surface metrology specify their nominal features (ideal geometrical properties) when purchasing them from manufacturers and suppliers;
b) to enable users of material measures to formulate their own rules and policies for responding to the occurrence of defects in such a way as to minimise the uncertainty of their own measurements.
c) to enable calibration laboratories and their customers to agree a common policy on how to treat defects on a material measure that has been sent for calibration;
d) to educate users of material measures about the different significance and importance of different kinds of defect;
e) for other GPS standards which make reference to the issue of selection of measuring locations, or selection of areas to be measured or to be avoided in measurement.

Introduction
0.1 General
This document is a geometrical product specification (GPS) standard and is to be regarded as a general
GPS standard (see ISO 14638). It influences chain link F of the chain of standards on profile surface
texture, areal surface texture and surface imperfections.
The ISO GPS masterplan given in ISO 14638 gives an overview of the ISO GPS system of which this
document is a part. The fundamental rules of ISO GPS given in ISO 8015 apply to this document.
The default decision rules given in ISO 14253-1 apply to specifications made in accordance with this
document, unless otherwise stated.
For more detailed information on the relation of this document to the GPS matrix model, see Annex B.
This document is based on the premise that a material measure has a real geometrical surface which
is a realization of an ideal or nominal surface, which in turn can in most cases be regarded as a simple
mathematical concept: for example a plane, a sphere, a step function or a sinusoidal shape. In each
case there will be an associated precisely known quantity, which is used when the material measure is
measured by a surface texture-measuring instrument in one or more operations during the calibration
and set-up of that instrument.
Any portion of the measuring surface of the material measure at which the real surface deviates from
the ideal nominal surface is therefore more or less undesirable, and is here denoted by the term defect.
0.2 Relationship to ISO 8785
ISO 8785 was intended to apply to all types of surface, whether functional or otherwise. Examples
of functional surfaces are: brake disks, cylinder linings, optical lens and mirror surfaces, fluid pipe
couplings, marine propeller blades and artificial hip joints. In each case, the surface has to perform one
or more definite jobs and, consequently, the choice of method of manufacture and the type of surface
geometry, together with a certain range of parameter values which are specified for it, are usually a
compromise between conflicting requirements which might not all be perfectly fulfilled. The functional
surface can then be measured in order to find out how closely it matches the parameter values which
have been specified.
However, this is not the same as determining how well the surface functions. In many cases it is not
obvious exactly what the ideal profile shape from the point of view of best function would be. Therefore,
it is possible that a surface which deviates from the specified profile in some places actually performs
better than one which has no deviations. For this reason, ISO 8785 used the general term imperfections,
which does not suggest undesirability, in preference to the term defects, which does suggest this.
Unlike ISO 8785, this document does not deal with any classes of defect, other than geometrical, that
might appear upon the surfaces of material measures. Examples of other classes of defect are: unwanted
variations in such physical properties as:
— surface hardness;
— surface colour;
— electrical properties.
For the purposes of this document, no instance of such an unwanted variation in a physical property
is considered to be a defect unless it coincides spatially with the area of a geometrical defect. For
information on variations in surface colour, see Annex A.
0.3 Relationship to ISO 5436-1 and ISO 25178-70
The material measures and calibration specimens which are described in ISO 5436-1 and ISO 25178-70
are not functional surfaces as described in 0.2. Material measures exist only in order to be measured;

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
SIST EN ISO 25178-73:2019
ISO 25178-73:2019(E)
there are no physical jobs which they have to do. They are physical representations of a mathematically
simple shape, which is therefore the ideal shape and which can be specified precisely.
Any deviation from this ideal shape is therefore undesirable, and so the term defect is preferable to the
term imperfection. It is possible for a single calibration specimen to be used in two or more different
applications, but for each application there exists a theoretically ideal shape, although certain features
of the ideal might be more important in one application than in the other.
For example, a sinusoidal roughness specimen can be used to check Ra or RSm parameter values. In
the first application it is more important that the sinusoidal specimen exhibits uniformity of amplitude
(peak height) than uniformity of wavelength (peak spacing), but in the second application it is the
other way around. The fact that the calibration specimen can be used in two different applications does
not make it a functional surface; it is still a measurement standard which exists only in order to be
measured.
0.4 Defining defects by reference to geometrical shape rather than cause
ISO 8785:1998, Clause 4, contains several descriptions of surface imperfections in terms which make
reference to the cause of the imperfection, instead of just their geometrical shape. This can create the
following difficulties when applying these descriptions in practice:
a) the possibility of confusion, in cases where a feature has the shape of one type of imperfection, but
has the cause of a different one;
b) in many cases, particularly with very small features at the limits of visibility, the cause might be
unknown and hard to discover;
c) it becomes more difficult to translate the terms into other languages.
In this document the emphasis is on geometrical shape, and three terms will be defined corresponding
to the cases in which the deviation is upwards from the surface (outward defect, 3.2.6), downwards into
the surface (inward defect, 3.2.7) or neither upward nor downward (neutral defect, 3.2.8). However,
there is one exception: it is necessary to define one special type of defect (negative defect, 3.2.9) which
sometimes appears on material measures that have been manufactured by one of the widely-used
methods of replication and which appears on such a replicated material measure as the result of a
corresponding defect on the surface of the mother mould (often called a negative), which produced the
replica.
0.5 Terms for ways of responding to defects
Consistent with the general idea that defects are undesirable, this document contains a section which
defines terms for all possible responses to the presence of defects. It does not specify which of these
responses should be applied in any particular situation, it simply defines terms and names for them, and
thus enables users, manufacturers, calibration metrologists and writers of other standards documents
to state their own policies and procedures clearly and unambiguously.
0.6 Defect as a portion of the surface rather than a property of the whole surface
A defect is a geometrical feature limited by natural boundaries (in the language of ISO 8015:2011, 5.4
and ISO 22432:2011, 3.2), that is non-ideal and real (ISO 22432:2011, 3.2.2). In this document a defe

document is a part. The fundamental rules of ISO GPS given in ISO 8015 apply to this document.
The default decision rules given in ISO 14253-1 apply to specifications made in accordance with this
document, unless otherwise stated.
For more detailed information on the relation of this document to the GPS matrix model, see Annex B.
This document is based on the premise that a material measure has a real geometrical surface which
is a realization of an ideal or nominal surface, which in turn can in most cases be regarded as a simple
mathematical concept: for example a plane, a sphere, a step function, or a sinusoidal shape. In each
case there will be an associated precisely-known quantity, which is used when the material measure is
measured by a surface texture-measuring instrument in one or more operations during the calibration
and set-up of that instrument.
Any portion of the measuring surface of the material measure at which the real surface deviates from
the ideal nominal surface is therefore more or less undesirable, and is here denoted by the term defect.
0.2 Relationship to ISO 8785:1999 Surface Imperfections — Terms, Definitions and Parameters
ISO 8785:1999 was intended to apply to all types of surface, whether functional or otherwise. Examples
of functional surfaces are: brake disks, cylinder linings, optical lens and mirror surfaces, fluid pipe
couplings, marine propeller blades, artificial hip joints. In each case, the surface has to perform one
or more definite jobs, and consequently the choice of method of manufacture, and the type of surface
geometry together with a certain range of parameter values which are specified for it, are usually a
compromise between conflicting requirements which may not all be perfectly fulfilled. The functional
surface can then be measured in order to find out how closely it matches the parameter values which
have been specified.
However, this is not the same as determining how well the surface functions. In many cases it is
not obvious exactly what the ideal profile shape from the point of view of best function, would be.
Therefore, it is possible that a surface which deviates from the specified profile in some places, actually
performs better than one which has no deviations. For this reason, ISO 8785:1999 used the general
term imperfections, which does not suggest undesirability, in preference to the term defects, which does
suggest it.
Unlike ISO 8785:1999, this document does not deal with any classes of defect other than geometrical,
that may appear upon the surfaces of material measures. Examples of other classes of defect are:
unwanted variations in physical properties such as surface hardness, or surface colour, or electrical
properties. For the purposes of this document, no instance of such an unwanted variation in a physical
property is considered to be a defect unless it coincides spatially with the area of a geometrical defect.
For information on variations in surface colour, see Annex A.
0.3 Relationship to ISO 5436-1:2000 and ISO 25178-70
The material measures and calibration specimens which are described in ISO 5436-1 and ISO 25178-70,
are not functional surfaces as described in 0.2. Material measures exist only in order to be measured,
there are no physical jobs which they have to do. They are physical representations of a mathematically
simple shape, which is therefore the ideal shape, and which can be specified precisely.
Any deviation from this ideal shape is therefore undesirable, and so the term defect is preferable to the
term imperfection. It is possible for a single calibration specimen to be used in two or more different

applications, but for each application there exists a theoretically ideal shape, although certain features
of the ideal may be more important in one application than the other.
For example, a sinusoidal roughness specimen can be used to check Ra or RSm parameter values. In
the first application it is more important that the sinusoidal specimen exhibits uniformity of amplitude
(peak height) than uniformity of wavelength (peak spacing), but in the second application it is the
other way around. The fact that the calibration specimen can be used in two different applications does
not make it a functional surface, it is still a measurement standard which exists only in order to be
measured.
0.4 Defining defects by reference to geometrical shape, rather than to cause
ISO 8785:1999, Clause 4 contains several descriptions of surface imperfections in terms which make
reference to the cause of the imperfection, instead of just their geometrical shape. This can create the
following kinds of difficulties when applying these descriptions in practice:
a) the possibility of confusion, in cases where a feature has the shape of one type of imperfection, but
has the cause of a different one;
b) in many cases, particularly with very small features at the limits of visibility, the cause may be
unknown and hard to discover;
c) it makes it more difficult to translate the terms into other languages.
In this document the emphasis is on geometrical shape, and three terms will be defined corresponding
to the cases in which the deviation is upwards from the surface (outward defect, 3.2.6), or downwards
into the surface (inward defect, 3.2.7), or neither upward nor downward (neutral defect, 3.2.8).
However, there is one exception: it is necessary to define one special type of defect (negative defect,
3.2.9) which sometimes appears on material measures that have been manufactured by one of the
widely-used methods of replication and which appear on such a replicated material measure as the
result of a corresponding defect on the surface of the mother mould (often called a negative), which
produced the replica.
0.5 Terms for ways of responding to defects
Consistent with the general idea that defects are undesirable, this document contains a section which
defines terms for all possible responses to the presence of defects. It does not specify which of these
responses should be applied in any particular situation, it simply defines terms and names for them, and
thus enables users, manufacturers, calibration metrologists, and writers of other standards documents,
to state their own policies and procedures clearly and unambiguously.
0.6 A defect is a portion of the surface rather than a property of the whole surface
In the language of ISO 8015:2011, 5.4, and ISO 22432:2011, 3.2, a defect is a geometrical feature limited
by natural boundaries, that is non-ideal, and real (ISO 22432:2011, 3.2.2). In this document a defect
is considered to be a portion of the physical surface of a geometrical measurement standard, rather
than a property of the whole surface. This is necessary in order to distinguish between three common
responses to the presence of defects on a measurement standard, responses which are easily confused
with each other if they are not precisely defined. They are:
— first, to remove the defect (by either physically cutting it off the measuring area or else discarding
data points in the software);
— secondly, to avoid the defect (by redefining the limits of the measuring area);
— thirdly, to repair the defect (by either reworking or cleaning the specimen, or else retouching data
in the software).
In the absence of strict definitions for the terms remove, avoid, and repair, the widely-used term remove
is ambiguous. However, it is important to distinguish between repairing and removing defects as
defined in this document, because many users of specimens and writers of procedures and policies will
want to forbid one of these whilst allowing or requiring the other to be done.
