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/d irectives).
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

Introduction
The ISO 6622 series 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 6623, ISO 6624
[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, it is important for the designer to bear in mind the
conditions under which it will be required to operate.
[3]
It is also important that the designer refers to the specifications and requirements of ISO 6621-3 and
ISO 6621-4 before completing selection.

rings >2 mm axial width per 2 mm of radial ring thickness is specified, the dimension a , the angle φ
x
and the width of the bevel are at the discretion of the manufacturer. In such cases, the design should
correspond to one or the other of the designs shown in Figures 7 and 8.

The tangential and diametral forces given in Tables 13 and 14 shall be corrected when additional

features and/or materials other than grey cast iron with a modulus of elasticity of 100 GN/m are being
used. For common features, the multiplier correction factors given in Tables 11 and 12 and the force
correction factors given in ISO 6621-4 shall be used. The factors of Table 12 have been calculated with
mean plating/coating thickness.

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).

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 6622-1:2003), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— figures were updated for a better understanding;
— added M6 taper in Table 3;
— added h dimension in Table 8;

— editorial adaptations according to ISO directives.

Introduction
The ISO 6622 series is one of a number of series of International Standards dealing with piston rings for
[2],[3],[4],[5] [6] [7],[8], [9]
reciprocating internal combustion engines. Others are ISO 6621, ISO 6623, ISO 6624
[10], [11] [12],[13] [14]
, 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, it is important for the designer to 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 selection.

Internal combustion engines — Piston rings —
Part 1:
Rectangular rings made of cast iron
1 Scope
This document specifies the essential dimensional features of rectangular rings made of cast iron,
Types R, B, BA and M, having diameters up to and including 200 mm, used in reciprocating internal
combustion piston engines. It is also applicable to piston rings of compressors working under similar
conditions.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

ISO 6621-4, Internal combustion engines — Piston rings — Part 4: General specifications
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 6621-1 apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

— IEC Electropedia: available at https:// www .electropedia .org/
4 Overview
The rectangular ring types are specified in Tables 1 to 3 and Figures 1 to 4. Their common features and
the dimensions of those features are specified in Tables 4 to 10 and Figures 5 to 11. Tables 11 and 12
give the force factors for the different ring types, while Tables 13 and 14 give the dimensions and forces
of rectangular rings of radial wall thickness regular and thicker “D/22”, respectively.
5 Ring types and designation examples

5.5.2 Designation
EXAMPLE Designation of a piston ring complying with the requirements of ISO 6622-1, being a rectangular
ring made of cast iron, with a 10’ taper faced peripheral surface (M1), of diameter d = 90 mm (90), of nominal

6.3 Piston ring twist features
When the standard twist of 0,01/0,05 mm for rings ≤2 mm axial width and 0,01/0,04 mm for
rings >2 mm axial width per 2 mm of radial ring thickness is specified, the dimension a , the angle φ
x
and the width of the bevel are at the discretion of the manufacturer. In such cases, the design should
correspond to one or the other of the designs shown in Figures 7 and 8.

7 Force factors
The tangential and diametral forces given in Tables 13 and 14 shall be corrected when additional
2
features and/or materials other than grey cast iron with a modulus of elasticity of 100 GN/m are being
used. For common features, the multiplier correction factors given in Tables 11 and 12 and the force
correction factors given in ISO 6621-4 shall be used. The factors of Table 12 have been calculated with
mean plating/coating thickness.
