Surface Finish Factor of Specimen evaluator uses Surface Finish Factor = Endurance Limit/(Endurance Limit of Rotating Beam Specimen*Size Factor*Reliabilty Factor*Modifying Factor for Stress Concentration) to evaluate the Surface Finish Factor, Surface finish factor of specimen formula is defined as the ratio of endurance limit to the product of endurance limit of the rotating-beam specimen, size factor, reliability factor, and modifying factor for stress concentration. It takes into account the reduction in endurance limit due to variation in the surface finish between the specimen and the actual component. Surface Finish Factor is denoted by Ka symbol.
