Inspection SPG High
Measurement
6 Measurement
Use the device model MMS Inspection SPG to measure the height of surface
profiles. The probe measures the peak-to-trough height differences according
to ASTM 4417, Method B. The gage is therefore suitable for height measure-
ments of surface profiles according to various directives and guidelines, such
as SSPC-PA17.
During the measurement you can also:
• Delete measured readings: Press the key
• View the statistics of the open measurement block: Press the BLOCK key
6.1 Notes on measuring
Essentially: If the specified precision is not achieved during the measure-

Measured readings outside the specified tolerance limits are displayed in

The gage vibrates during measurement acquisition if this is activated in the
gage settings.
