CIRCULARITY:
The condition of a surface where all points of the surface resulting from the intersection of that surface with a plane perpendicular to an axis (cylinder, cone) are equidistant from that axis. For a sphere the plane goes through the center and all points are equidistant from the center.

CIRCULARITY TOLERANCE ZONE:
A tolerance zone bounded by two concentric circles within which each circular element of the surface must lie.
