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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

Introduction
The propeller manufacturer is at liberty to use any equipment and method that enables the tolerances
to be verified to the required accuracy.

Part 1:
Propellers of diameter greater than 2,50 m
1 Scope
This part of ISO 484 defines manufacturing tolerances of ship screw propellers of a diameter
greater than 2,50 m.
NOTE Some deviations for the tolerance are permitted in certain cases subject to the discretion of the
customer or of the designer and the customer.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 1302, Geometrical Product Specifications (GPS) — Indication of surface texture in technical product
documentation
3 Field of application
This part of ISO 484 applies to monobloc, built-up, and controllable pitch propellers.
4 Methods for measuring pitch
4.1 The principle of one method of measurement consists in setting out along a helicoidal line of
radius, r, a certain length, PQ, corresponding to the desired angle, α, and in measuring the difference, h, in
the heights of the points P and Q with respect to a reference plane (see Figure 1).
The length PQ shall be set out using one of the methods described in 4.1.1, 4.1.2, or 4.1.3.
NOTE Other methods giving the required accuracy may be used if necessary.
4.1.1 Use of marking gauges
The length PQ shall be set out by means of marking gauges.
4.1.2 Method with a graduated ring
The length PQ shall be set out by means of angle, α, on a part of a graduated ring of suitable radius
(see Figure 1).
4.1.3 Method using coordinate measuring machine
The height coordinates are taken at defined measuring points by means of coordinate measuring
machine, and they are related to each other (determination of height differences needed for pitch
A
evaluation). Both cartesian coordinate system (x, y, z) and polar coordinate system (α, r, h) can be
applied alternatively in order to define measuring points P and Q.
5 Methods for measuring the thickness of the section
5.1 The thickness of a cylindrical section at a point S shall be measured along direction SV (see
Figure 2) on the plane tangent to the coaxial cylinder and perpendicular to the pitch line of the pressure
side of the section (and only along direction SU perpendicular to the pressure side surface or direction S
parallel to the propeller axis when defined in this way on the drawings).

6 Accuracy classes
The accuracy class shall be selected by the customer. The indications in Table 1 serve as guidance
in this choice.

a) Local pitch ±1,5 % ±2 % ±3 %

with a minimum of ±10 mm ±15 mm ±20 mm
b) Mean pitch per radius of
±1 % ±1,5 % ±2 % ±5 %
each blade

c) Mean pitch per blade ±0,75 % ±1 % ±1,5 % ±4 %
d) Mean pitch for propeller ±0,5 % ±0,75 % ±1 % ±3 %
NOTE The tolerances of Table 2 are expressed as percentages of the design pitch
corresponding to the radius for designations a) and b) and the mean design pitch for
designations c) and d).
7.1 Pitch shall be measured at least at the radii indicated in Table 3. By agreement between the
interested parties, different radii may be measured.
Table 3 — Pitch measurement locations
Class Radii
S and I A section near the hub – 0,4 R – 0,5 R – 0,6 R – 0,7 R – 0,8 R – 0,9 R – 0,95 R
II A section near the hub – 0,5 R – 0,6 R – 0,7 R – 0,8 R – 0,9 R
III A section near the hub – 0,5 R – 0,7 R – 0,9 R
7.2 The measurement of local pitches for Class S and Class I is further controlled as described in Clause 10.
7.3 The tolerances on the local pitch and on the mean pitch of each radius of each blade given in
Table 2, a) and b) are increased by 50 % for sections at 0,4 R or less.
7.4 Should the propeller manufacturer wish to compensate for an error on the pitch (inside or outside
the tabulated tolerances) by means of an alteration in the propeller diameter, he may do so only with the
customer’s agreement.
7.5 The design pitch is the pitch of the reference line as defined below.
The design pitch line of a section is a helical reference for the section in question of which the section
ordinates for the face and the back are given.
It could be a line joining the nose and tail of the section or any other conveniently placed helical line.
7.6 The local pitch at point B (Figure 1) is determined by measuring the difference in height between
two points, P and Q, situated at equal distances from point B and on either side of the latter (BP = BQ)
and by multiplying the difference in height by . This shall be compared with the local pitch as
α
calculated from the face offsets for the same points.
The distance between any two points used for a local pitch measurement may range between 100 mm
and 400 mm. One pitch measurement is to be near the leading edge, one near the trailing edge, and there
shall be at least two other pitch measurements in between. As far as possible, the pitch measurements
should be consecutive.
