Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 6624-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles.
This first edition of ISO 6624-2 cancels and replaces ISO/TR 6624-2:1988, which has been technically revised.
ISO 6624 consists of the following parts, under the general title Internal combustion engines — Piston rings:
— Part 1: Keystone rings made of cast iron
— Part 2: Half keystone rings made of cast iron
— Part 3: Keystone rings made of steel
— Part 4: Half keystone rings made of steel

Introduction
ISO 6624 is one of a number of series of International Standards dealing with piston rings for reciprocating
[2], [3], [4], [5] [6], [7] [8] [9]
internal combustion engines. Others are ISO 6621 , ISO 6622 , ISO 6623 , ISO 6625 ,
[10], [11] [12]
ISO 6626 and ISO 6627 .
The common features and dimensional tables presented in this part of ISO 6624 constitute a broad range of
variables and, in selecting a particular ring type, the designer must bear in mind the conditions under which it
will be required to operate.
[4]
It is also essential that the designer refer to the specifications and requirements of ISO 6621-3 and
ISO 6621-4 before completing selection.

Internal combustion engines — Piston rings —
Part 2:
Half keystone rings made of cast iron
1 Scope
This part of ISO 6624 specifies the essential dimensional features of half keystone rings made of cast iron,
types HK and HKB, having diameters of from 38 mm up to and including 160 mm, used in reciprocating
internal combustion piston engines.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 6621-4, Internal combustion engines — Piston rings — Part 4: General specifications
3 Overview
The half keystone ring types are specified in Table 1 and Figures 1 and 2. Their common features and the
dimensions of those features are specified in Tables 2 and 3 and Figures 3 to 8. Tables 4 and 5 give the force
factors for the different ring types, while Table 6 gives the dimensions and forces of half keystone rings.
4 Ring types and designation examples
NOTE For the angle of half keystone rings, the same definition and measurement apply as for keystone rings (see
ISO 6621-2).
