Overview

ISO 3366:1999 is an International Standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specifies the dimensions, limit deviations, and designation of coated abrasive rolls. This standard ensures uniformity and quality control in the manufacturing and application of abrasive rolls used in various industrial and manufacturing processes. The document replaces previous standards ISO 3366:1975, ISO 3367:1975, and ISO 3368:1975, consolidating and updating the technical requirements relevant to coated abrasives.

The standard is crucial for manufacturers, suppliers, and users of abrasive rolls, providing consistent guidelines to ensure products meet defined dimensional tolerances and performance expectations under standardized test conditions.

Key Topics

• Types and Dimensions
  ISO 3366:1999 defines two types of abrasive rolls:

  • Type A - Roll without flange
  • Type B - Roll incorporating flange, with or without core
    The dimensions cover width (T) and length (L), detailed in millimeters with specified nominal sizes and tolerances, ensuring product compatibility and interchangeability.

• Limit Deviations and Testing Conditions
  The standard specifies limit deviations for abrasive roll dimensions valid under controlled environmental conditions:

  • Temperature: 20 °C ± 2 °C
  • Relative humidity: 65 % ± 5 %, in accordance with ISO 554 (Standard atmospheres for conditioning and/or testing). Rolls must be conditioned for at least 24 hours prior to testing to guarantee consistency.

• Designation and Marking
  Abrasive rolls are designated using a specific format incorporating:

  • The product type designation "Abrasive roll"
  • Reference to ISO 3366
  • Type (A or B)
  • Width (T in millimeters)
  • Length (L in millimeters)
    Example: Abrasive roll ISO 3366 A 25 · 50 000
    Marking requirements are left to the manufacturer’s discretion but should allow for clear identification.

Applications

ISO 3366:1999 plays a vital role in industries utilizing coated abrasives for surface finishing, grinding, polishing, and sanding operations. Its applications include:

• Manufacturing of abrasive products: Ensures abrasive rolls produced by different manufacturers are dimensionally compatible and meet quality control standards.
• Automotive and aerospace industries: Utilized for precision surface treatments requiring standardized abrasive materials.
• Metalworking and woodworking: Supports consistent performance and lifespan of abrasive rolls in sanding and finishing stages.
• Quality assurance and procurement: Facilitates clear specification and assessment of abrasive rolls during purchase and inspection processes.

By adhering to ISO 3366:1999, businesses ensure reliable product performance and smoother supply chain integration.

Related Standards

• ISO 554:1976 – Standard atmospheres for conditioning and/or testing, which governs the test conditions for abrasive roll assessments.
• Other coated abrasive standards published by ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 29, which deals with small tools such as grinding wheels and abrasives, complement ISO 3366 for various abrasive formats and materials.

Summary

ISO 3366:1999 standardizes the dimensions and designation of coated abrasive rolls, supporting consistent quality and interchangeability across industries requiring abrasive materials. Key benefits include standardized dimension tolerances, defined test conditions, and clear product designation for ease of identification and quality assurance. This standard is essential for manufacturers, suppliers, and end users focusing on coated abrasives in industrial surface treatment applications.

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 3.
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.
International Standard ISO 3366 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 29, Small tools, Subcommittee
SC 5, Grinding wheels and abrasives.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 3366:1975) as well as ISO 3367:1975 and
ISO 3368:1975 the contents of which, after technical revision, have been combined.

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée aux
comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du comité
technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en
liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec la Commission
électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI, Partie 3.
Les projets de Normes internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour
vote. Leur publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités
membres votants.
La Norme internationale ISO 3366 a été élaborée par le comité technique ISO/TC 29, Petit outillage, sous-comité
SC 5, Meules et abrasifs.
