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.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 6624 may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 6624-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 6624-1:1986), 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

ISO 6624-1:2001(E)
Introduction
ISO 6624 is one of a number of series of International Standards dealing with piston rings for reciprocating internal
combustion engines. Others are ISO 6621, ISO 6622, ISO 6623, ISO 6625, ISO 6626 and ISO 6627 (see
Bibliography for details).
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 a selection.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 6624-1:2001(E)
Internal combustion engines — Piston rings —
Part 1:
Keystone rings made of cast iron
1 Scope
This part of ISO 6624 specifies the essential dimensional features of keystone rings made of cast iron, types T, TB,
TBA, TM, K, KB, KBA and KM, having diameters of from 70 mm up to and including 200 mm, used in reciprocating
internal combustion piston engines.
2 Normative reference
The following normative document contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of
this part of ISO 6624. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications
do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this part of ISO 6624 are encouraged to investigate the
possibility of applying the most recent edition of the normative document indicated below. For undated references,
the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC maintain registers of
currently valid International Standards.
1)
ISO 6621-4:— , Internal combustion engines — Piston rings — Part 4: General specifications.
3Overview
The keystone ring types are specified in Tables 1 to 3 and Figures 1 to 8. Their common features and the
dimensions of those features are specified in Tables 4 to 7 and Figures 9 to 16. Tables 8 and 9 give the force
factors for the different types of ring, while Table 10 and Table 11 give the dimensions and forces of keystone rings
6� and 15�, respectively.
