Ssk (Skewness) | Area Roughness Parameters

Ssk (Skewness)

Ssk values represent the degree of bias of the roughness shape (asperity).

Ssk<0: Height distribution is skewed above the mean plane.
Ssk=0: Height distribution (peaks and pits) is symmetrical around the mean plane.
Ssk>0: Height distribution is skewed below the mean plane.
