Overview
ISO 603-3:1999/Cor 1:1999 is part of the ISO 603 series on bonded abrasive products - dimensions. Part 3 addresses grinding wheels for internal cylindrical grinding. The 1999 Technical Corrigendum updates a normative reference used across parts 1–16 of ISO 603. This corrigendum was prepared by ISO/TC 29/SC 5 (Grinding wheels and abrasives) and published on 1999-11-15.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: The standard series defines dimensional conventions for a wide range of bonded abrasive products; Part 3 specifically concerns wheels intended for internal cylindrical grinding.
- Dimensional focus: ISO 603-3 sets out the dimensional aspects relevant to internal grinding wheels (shape, size categories and related dimensional definitions as applicable to this wheel type).
- Normative references: Technical Corrigendum 1 replaces the reference in paragraph 5 from ISO 3290:1976 with ISO 3920:1976, ensuring the series cites the correct supporting standard.
- Standards governance: The corrigendum clarifies and corrects cross-references within the ISO 603 parts to preserve consistency across the bonded abrasive product family.
Applications
- Manufacturers of grinding wheels use ISO 603-3 to ensure wheel dimensions match accepted international conventions for internal cylindrical grinding wheels.
- Machine shops and toolrooms rely on these dimensional standards when specifying or selecting wheels for precision internal grinding operations (bore grinding, internal cylindrical surfaces).
- Procurement and quality assurance teams apply the standard to verify incoming wheels meet the dimensional criteria expected for compatibility with internal grinding machines and fixtures.
- Standards engineers and compliance officers use the corrigendum to maintain accurate reference lists and to ensure documentation cites the correct normative standards.
Who should use this standard
- Grinding wheel producers and designers
- Maintenance and production engineers in metalworking and automotive industries
- Quality control and inspection personnel
- Standards librarians and technical writers managing normative references
Related standards
- ISO 603 (parts 1–16):1999 - the complete series covering dimensions for many bonded abrasive product types (external cylindrical, surface grinding, cutting-off, deburring, etc.)
- ISO 3920:1976 - the corrected normative reference now cited by ISO 603 parts via Technical Corrigendum 1
This corrigendum is essential for anyone referencing ISO 603-3:1999 to ensure accurate normative citations and consistent dimensional guidance for bonded abrasive products, especially grinding wheels for internal cylindrical grinding.
