Svk (reduced dale height)

This parameter expresses the arithmetical mean of the reduced valley depth of the areal material ratio curve. Essentially, this is a measure of the valley depth below the core roughness. This indicates the depth of the area in which fluid applied to the surface accumulates, which is information that can be used to improve the lubricating properties of the surface.
