Talk:Ovality

Request for generalisation

I moved this comment from the article:

This definition should be opened up to be more general. The term ovality is more widely used in design than just the fiber optic biz. It is a classic description of the quality of a drilled hole for example. Also a classic problem in assembly of cylindrical structures is the ovality causing interference.

An additional example is given in :http://www.glossary.oilfield.slb.com/Display.cfm?Term=ovality%20limit.

Again the term is used in quality measurements of thin tubing at :http://www.laser-ndt.com/profilometryovality.html
