Fast Texture Meter

FTM

The ASTM E1845 compliant texture meter is a ground truth device for measuring texture profile as well as MSD, MPD, and RMS parameters.

Fast Texture Measurement

The Fast Texture Meter (FTM) is ICC’s newest reference device and sets a new standard in texture measurement. The FTM records a high resolution texture profile with a vertical resolution well into the microtexture range and computes MSD, MPD, and RMS values precisely in accordance with the ASTM E1845 standard.  Use this device to:

 

  • Meet FWHA calibration site requirements
  • Measure ground truth values on control sites
  • Compare high speed equipment to ground truth
  • Validate network level collection accuracy
