Surface finish [India] 

+++

Generally we indicate the surface finish in Ra & Rz values. But one of our customer has indicated the surface finish value as 6.3 S which should be obtained by grinding method. We would like to know what the ways of indicating the surface finish . What is the conversion of 6.3 S in terms of Ra & Rz. We would also like know when the difference between these three.

Never heard of a standard "S". I suggest you go back to your customer and advise him to specify a common standard of Ra, RMS, or Rz.

6.3S refers to the maximum height of a profile. I dont think it is a SF symbol.
