Abstract
This chapter introduces some of the concepts used in the measurement and characterisation of surface texture that will be used throughout the rest of the book. A short history of optical measurement techniques will be given, followed by descriptions of surface profile and areal surfaces. How surface texture sits within the ISO Geometrical Product Specification is discussed along with the current position with surface texture specification standards. Non-optical and optical surface texture measurement instrument types are summarised and some general advice is given on instrument choice.
