Propeller roughness definitions



Hello...

Can anyone point me to a reference to correlate "equivalent sand roughness"
(as used by the ITTC-78 propeller scale correction) to contemporary
propeller manufacturing practices? (Something like: a typical hand finish is
equivalent to XX micrometers in equivalent "sand roughness"; CNC is YY
micrometers; polished is ZZ micrometers?) What is the roughness of the best
commercial finish (polish)? How does this relate to other measures, such as
the Rubert propeller roughness gages?

Regards,

Don
