combined surface imperfection height
SIM<sub>ch</sub>
distance between the reference surface and the uppermost point of the surface imperfection, measured from and perpendicular to the reference surface
ISO 8785:1998(en), 3.4.1
single surface imperfection height
SIM<sub>sh</sub>
greatest height of the surface imperfection, measured from and perpendicular to the reference surface

dent
hollow with no raised portion, often caused by plastic deformation resulting from an impression or blow

crazing
imperfections in the form of a network of cracks on a surface

crater
hollow with a circular contour and raised edges resembling the mouth of a volcano; the edges are higher than the reference surface cf. dent

total surface imperfection area
SIM<sub>t</sub>
area equal to the sum of the individual surface imperfection areas, within the agreed limits of discrimination
Note 1 to entry:
1 The total surface imperfections area is calculated as:
SIMt = SIMa1 + SIMa2 + ... +SIMan
2 When specifying the agreed limits of discrimination, the dimensional criterion that should be used is the minimum dimension of surface imperfection characteristic below which the surface imperfection is neglected when determining the SIMn and SIMt values.

discoloration
discoloured area on a surface

scoring
imperfection in the form of successive recessions and raisings caused by the expulsion of workpiece material owing to the movement of a foreign body
