This International Standard specifies a non-contact, scanning laser beam method of gauging for determination of
the mean, minimum and maximum diameters and the ovality of rod-shaped objects with a circular or oval crosssection.
The method is applicable, in particular, to cigarettes and filter rods.
NOTE 1 Alternative tape gauge and pneumatic balancing orifice measurement techniques are still widely used in the
determination of nominal diameters for cigarettes and filter rods. These alternative measurement techniques are discussed in
annex C.
NOTE 2 For laboratories using the circumference value instead of the diameter, the circumference value is calculated by
multiplying the diameter by pi (p).
