Cylindricity in the quality management context refers to a geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) measurement that describes how close an object's surface conforms to a perfect cylinder. It is a 3D form tolerance that assesses the deviation of a cylindrical object's surface from a theoretical perfect cylinder. Cylindricity is crucial in industries where precision mechanical components are required, such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing, ensuring that parts fit together correctly and function as intended without causing undue wear or failure.
