Hello, I'm trying to interpret the significance of "rd." in the measurement found in the following sentence:
"Der Bruch geht von einer deutlich ausgeprägten Kaltlaufstelle aus (0 rd. 1,5mm), die bis zur Bauteiloberfläche reicht."
Sentence something like: "The fracture runs from a significantly pronounced patch of cold lap (0 rd. 1,5mm) reaching as far as the piece's surface."
I think we're talking micrometers here; does "rd." indicate a estimate i.e. "about" or "around" 1,5mm?
Thanks!

: What an amazing feat of linguistic economy: Take a four-letter word, abbreviate it to two and add a dot on the end to show what you’ve done and – hey presto – you’ve saved on one whole character!
