ISO 3040:2016 specifies graphical indication applicable to a cone (right-angle circular cones) to define its dimensioning or to specify its tolerancing.For the purposes of this International Standard, the term "cone" relates to right-angle circular cones only (any intersection by a plane perpendicular to the axis of the nominal cone is a circle).NOTE 1 For simplicity, only truncated cones have been represented in this International Standard.
