Methods for the assessement of departure from roundness — Measurement of variations in radius

Establishes types of contact (stylus) instruments to be used, recommendations for their use, procedures for calibration of instruments and verification of their characteristics. Applies to a profile transformation, obtained under reference conditions. Departures from roundness of the measured profile, procedure, calibration and determination of systematic errors of rotation are dealt with in annexes A to D, respectively. Annex E gives rules for plotting and reading polar graphs. The position of the least squares centre can be calculated from a simple explicit equation given in annex F.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of
national Standards bodies (ISO member bedies). The work of preparing International
Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Esch 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, govern-
mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take patt in the work.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
the ISO Council. They are approved in accordance with ISO procedures requiring at
least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting.

Avant-propos
L ’ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une federation mondiale
d ’organismes nationaux de normalisation (comites membres de I ’ISO). L/elaboration
des Normes internationales est confiee aux comites techniques de I ’ISO. Chaque
comite membre interesse par une etude a le droit de faire partie du comite technique
tree a cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non gouverne-
mentales, en liaison avec I ’ISO, participent egalement aux travaux.
Les projets de Normes internationales adopt& par les comites techniques sont soumis
aux comites membres pour approbation, avant leur acceptation comme Normes inter-
nationales par le Conseil de I ’ISO. Les Normes internationales sont approuvees confor-
mement aux procedures de I ’ISO qui requierent I ’approbation de 75 % au moins des
comites membres votants.
La Norme internationale IS0 4291 a ete elaboree par le comite technique ISO/TC 57,

Inversement, une inclinaison convenable peut faire paraitre cir-

evaluee dans une section perpendiculaire a I ’axe de rotation de

cet axe et le profil trace, enregistre et mesure etant celui de la
section en question. Ce pro&de constitue la base normale des
