cylindricality

The engineer checks the cylindricality of the new pipe.

Definition

Noun: - The quality or state of being cylindrical: Specifically, it refers to the geometric property of having the shape or form of a cylinder, characterized by a straight, parallel-sided shape with a circular cross-section. - The roundness of a 3-dimensional cylinder: This is a more technical definition, describing the degree to which an object approximates the perfect, uniform circular cross-section along its length that defines a true cylinder.

Usage Examples
  • Noun:
    • The engineer measured the cylindricality of the newly machined piston to ensure it met the precise tolerances.
    • A high degree of cylindricality is crucial for the proper sealing of hydraulic tubes.
    • The quality control report noted a slight deviation in the cylindricality of the metal rod.
Advanced Usage
  • In Metrology and Engineering: is a key geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) parameter. It controls how much a surface can deviate from a perfect cylinder, ensuring parts fit and function correctly.
    • The design specification calls for a cylindricality tolerance of 0.1 millimeters.
  • In Descriptive Geometry: Used to describe the essential form of an object.
    • The sculpture emphasized the cylindricality of the human form in its abstract design.
Variants and Related Words
  • Cylindrical (adj): Having the shape of a cylinder.
    • A cylindrical storage tank.
  • Cylinder (n): A solid geometric figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross-section.
    • The engine's cylinders.
  • Roundness (n): The quality of being round, circular, or spherical. is a specific type of roundness applied to a 3D form.
Synonyms
  • Cylindricalness: (Less common) The state of being cylindrical.
  • Circularity in three dimensions: A descriptive synonym highlighting the round cross-section.
Notes
