Pocket Surf
Portable Surface Roughness Tester

Feature packed,compact and economically priced, Fowler ’s Pocket Surf portable surface roughness tester is the perfect instrument for making traceable surface roughness measurements on a wide variety of surfaces including small inside diameters.

Use the Pocket Surf for a variety surface roughness measurements including flat, inside/outside diameters and many difficult to gage surfaces.
Robustly constructed, featuring a durable cast aluminum housing, and designed for shop or laboratory use, the Pocket Surf will provide years of reliable and accurate surface finish gaging. The Pocket Surf is also designed to take measurements from a variety of positions and several angles. It works on both horizontal and vertical surfaces and can even be used upside down. For versatility it operates in four probe positions —extended, closed, or with the probe at 90 °,180 ° or 270 °

The optional height stand holds the Pocket Surf both vertically and horizontally, perfect for taking easy measure-ments on any suitable, flat working surface. The Pocket Surf System also has a wide variety of optional probes and fixtures.
