Quality Standard for Evaluation of Cast Surface Finishes -- Visual and Tactile Method

This MSS surface quality Standard Practice provides criteria for the visual and tactile evaluation of AS-CAST, cleaned surface finishes of components manufactured from castings. The standard and its supporting MSS Cast Surface Comparator may be applied to surface formed by any casting method. It provides visual and tactile criteria for evaluating casting surface finish and texture which can be used to develop an acceptable quality level.

Cast surfaces on materials such as gray iron, ductile iron, bronze and malleable iron may be compared with the use of this standard practice. However, it is not the intention to limit it to these types of materials.

(This SP must be sold with a 10-surface, three-dimensional Cast Surface Comparator, which is necessary part of the Standard.)
