Rsk, Rku

EN ISO 4287, ASME B46.1

Skewness Rsk is a measure of the asymmetry of the amplitude density curve. A negative skewness value indicates a surface with good bearing properties.





Kurtosis Rku is a measure of the peakedness of the amplitude density curve. For a profile with a Gaussian amplitude density curve Rku is 3.



Skewness and Kurtosis are strongly influenced by isolated peaks and valleys, which reduces their practical importance.
