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. 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. www .iso .org/ patents

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 6624-3:2001), which has been technically

revised. The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— PVD rings were included; and
— updates were made regarding technology improvements.

ISO 6624-3:2017(E)
Introduction

ISO 6624 is one of a number of series of International Standards dealing with piston rings for

[2].[3],[4],[5] [6],[7] [8]

reciprocating internal combustion engines. Others are ISO 6621 , ISO 6622 , ISO 6623 ,

[9] [10],[11], [12] [13]
ISO 6625 , ISO 6626 and ISO 6627 .

The common features and dimensional tables presented in this document 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 refers to the specifications and requirements of ISO 6621-3 and

ISO 6621-4 before completing a selection.

4 Overview

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 9 and Figures 9 to 15. Tables 11 and 12 give

the force factors for the different types of rings, while Table 13 and Table 14 give the dimensions and

forces of keystone rings 6° and 15°, respectively.
