Roughness of medium density fiberboards (MDF) by the contact and non-contact method

Abstract

The main subject of this work was to compare two methods for surface characterization; the traditional stylus or phertometer method was compared with a non-contact method (images analysis) under different climatic conditions. In this work of investigation, medium density fiberboards (MDF) were done using different raw materials and adhesives in the surface layers. In general, both techniques make a similar roughness characterization on medium density fiberboards.
