ISO Filters in Precision Engineering and Production Measurement – Michael P. Krystek

Abstract.

Filters are used in precision engineering and production measurement to suppress unwanted components in measured data, to reconstruct the sampled surface in case of tactile measurements, or to separate portions of different scales. The application of such filters comprises a wide area, in essence, coordinate measurement, form and contour measurement, as well as surface texture measurement. So far, almost exclusively the Gaussian filter, as standardised in ISO 11562, has been used in this area. But for some time past, a new series of ISO documents (ISO/TS 16610) has been available which — besides the Gaussian filter which is still available — specifies additional filters for the field of geometrical product specification and verification. This publication gives an overview of these new ISO filters.
