Axisymmetric connections are often employed in machine building. They can be used as static and movable connections. The final geometric form of elements comprising the axisymmetric connection is heavily dependent on the guidelines provided in the engineering drawing as well as the metrological process carried out as part of manufacturing. The denotation to maintain correct deviation within the framework of selected shape faults appears to be inaccurate. Companies manufacturing such components may control their measuring strategy to avoid a large number of rejected items. In the paper the influence of selected shape faults on coupling parameters within the axisymmetric connection as well as the effect of selected measurement strategy on the results of measurement of specific dimensions are presented. Furthermore, in the paper the guidelines for correct notation in the technical documentation to avoid ambiguity in interpretation have been defined.
