Pt16 surface finish parameter conversion

Is there a way to convert a Pt16 surface finish parameter to either an Rz, Ra, or Rq surface finish parameter?

Have you or can you reverse engineer this problem by measuring the surface with a profilometer? Another option is to find out the environment it is to be used in. Last or first, ask the potential customer or engineer.
