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 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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 document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 3611 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 213, Dimensional and geometrical product
specifications and verification.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 3611:1978), which has been technically revised.

Introduction
This International Standard is a geometrical product specification (GPS) standard and is to be regarded as a
general GPS standard (see ISO/TR 14638). It influences the chain link 5 of the chain of standards on size in
the general GPS matrix.

3.1
micrometer for external measurements
measuring instrument which gives the evaluation of a dimensional quantity of an external feature of a
workpiece on the basis of movement of a spindle with a measuring face, moving relatively to a material
measure and an anvil, with the movement generated by a screw thread
NOTE 1 The guiding elements of the spindle and of the anvil are connected by a frame.
NOTE 2 Usually, micrometers for external measurements have a thread as a material measure with the anvil, spindle
and material measure arranged in a line.
3.2
measuring face contact
contact between the measuring face and a feature of a workpiece
3.2.1
full measuring face contact
contact between the full area of the measuring face and a feature of a workpiece
3.2.2
partial measuring face contact
contact between a partial area of the measuring face and a feature of a workpiece
4 Design characteristics
4.1 General design and nomenclature
The general design and workmanship of the micrometer for external measurements shall be such that its
metrological characteristics comply with the requirements of this International Standard under all operational
orientations, unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer. See Figure 1 for the general design.

The CEN Secretary-General has advised the ISO Secretary-General that this ISO/DIS covers a subject
of interest to European standardization. In accordance with the ISO-lead mode of collaboration as
defined in the Vienna Agreement, consultation on this ISO/DIS has the same effect for CEN
members as would a CEN enquiry on a draft European Standard. Should this draft be accepted, a
final draft, established on the basis of comments received, will be submitted to a parallel two-month FDIS
vote in ISO and formal vote in CEN.
To expedite distribution, this document is circulated as received from the committee secretariat.
ISO Central Secretariat work of editing and text composition will be undertaken at publication
stage.
Pour accélérer la distribution, le présent document est distribué tel qu'il est parvenu du

IN ADDITION TO THEIR EVALUATION AS BEING ACCEPTABLE FOR INDUSTRIAL, TECHNOLOGICAL, COMMERCIAL AND USER PURPOSES, DRAFT
INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS MAY ON OCCASION HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED IN THE LIGHT OF THEIR POTENTIAL TO BECOME STANDARDS TO
WHICH REFERENCE MAY BE MADE IN NATIONAL REGULATIONS.

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 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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 document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 3611 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 213, Dimensional and geometrical product
specifications and verification.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 3611:1978), which has been technically revised.

Introduction
This International Standard is a Geometrical Product Specification (GPS) standard and is to be regarded as a
general GPS standard (see ISO/TR 14638). It influences the chain link 5 of the chain of standards on Size in
the general GPS matrix.
For more detailed information of the relation of the standard to other standards and the GPS matrix model see

3.1
micrometers for external measurements
measuring instrument, which gives the evaluation of a dimensional quantity of an external feature on the basis
of movement of a spindle with a measuring face, moving relatively to a material measure and an anvil, with
the movement generated by a screw thread
NOTE 1 The guiding of the spindle and the anvil are connected by a frame.
NOTE 2 Usually micrometers for external measurements have a thread as material measure with anvil, spindle and
material measure arranged in one line.
3.2
measuring face contact
contact between the measuring face and a feature
3.2.1
full measuring face contact
contact between the full area of the measuring face and a feature
3.2.2
partial measuring face contact
contact between a partial area of the measuring face and a feature
3.2.3
measuring face line contact
contact between a line on the measuring face and a feature
NOTE Form deviations in either the measuring face(s) or the feature are disregarded for the purposes of these
definitions.
4 Design characteristics
4.1 General design and nomenclature
The general design and workmanship shall be such that the performance of the micrometer for external
measurements complies with the requirements of this International Standard under all orientation of operation
unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer.
