Abstract: A measurement method for a grooved axially symmetric body involves detecting the geometry of the peripheral surface of the axially symmetric body, reconstructing a virtual profile corresponding at least to the profile of the lateral flanks of a plurality of recesses or grooves of the peripheral surface of the grooved axially symmetric body, generating a plurality of virtual rounded bodies of a predetermined size and placed each at a tangent to a corresponding pair of lateral sides and making one or more measurements using a centre or another point belonging to said virtual rounded bodies as a reference point.
