AARH stands for Arithmetic Average Roughness Height. It is used to measure the roughness (rather smoothness) of surfaces. 125 AARH means 125 micro inches will be the average height of the ups and downs of the surface. 63 AARH is specified for Ring Type Joints. 125-250 AARH (it is called smooth finish) is specified for Spiral Wound Gaskets. 250-500 AARH (it is called stock finish) is specified for soft gaskets such as NON Asbestos, Graphite sheets, Elastomers etc. If we use smooth finish for soft gaskets enough "biting effect" will not occur and hence the joint may develop leak. Sometimes AARH is referred also as Ra which stands for Roughness Average and means the same.
