Cylinder Min Value compared to Max Inscribed

I was asked if the measured max inscribed value of a circle/cylinder should be the same as the minimum value measured for that same circle/cylinder.

As far as I understand it, a max inscribed value of a hole is based off of the 3 inner most points to a circular axis. It's the largest virtual or actual pin that will fit in the ID. The minimum value is the point closest to the circular axis, (radius*2). Sometimes max inscribed and min value are the same, sometimes not.

What am I missing.

  • Cylinders should always (circumstances allowing) be measured with 3 levels to generate a proper vector for the centre axis.
    You should also use an odd number of hits per level (total number depends on size of hole and tolerancing requirements).


    Thanks for the suggestion. I'll start practicing this when developing cylinders.
