A method for measuring the verticality of a container having a base from which rises a vertical wall, the method consisting of rotating the container on itself over at least one revolution and of conducting, during the rotation of the container, measurements at different rotational positions of the container, characterized in that it consists of: • measuring at each rotational position of the container, at least: - the position along a first measurement axis, of at least one first measuring point located on the base, - the position along a second measurement axis, of a second measuring point located on the base diametrically opposite to the first measuring point, - the position along a third measurement axis, of at least one third measuring point located on the vertical wall at a distance from the base, - and optionally the position along a forth measurement axis, of at least one forth measuring point located on the vertical wall (h) in proximity to the bottom, - the first, second, third and forth measurement axes being coplanar in a measurement plane, • calculating for each rotational position of the container, a quantity depending on an angle (α) which is characteristic of the verticality of the container and defined between a first segment (x 1) passing through the first and second measuring points and a second segment (x 2) intersecting the first segment and either passing through the third and first measuring points or through the third and fourth measuring points, • and measuring the verticality from the variations of the quantity depending on this angle (α), considered over at least one revolution of the container. • measuring at each rotational position of the container, at least: - the position along a first measurement axis, of at least one first measuring point located on the base, - the position along a second measurement axis, of a second measuring point located on the base diametrically opposite to the first measuring point, - the position along a third measurement axis, of at least one third measuring point located on the vertical wall at a distance from the base, - and optionally the position along a forth measurement axis, of at least one forth measuring point located on the vertical wall (h) in proximity to the bottom, - the first, second, third and forth measurement axes being coplanar in a measurement plane, - the position along a first measurement axis, of at least one first measuring point located on the base, - the position along a second measurement axis, of a second measuring point located on the base diametrically opposite to the first measuring point, - the position along a third measurement axis, of at least one third measuring point located on the vertical wall at a distance from the base, - and optionally the position along a forth measurement axis, of at least one forth measuring point located on the vertical wall (h) in proximity to the bottom, - the first, second, third and forth measurement axes being coplanar in a measurement plane, • calculating for each rotational position of the container, a quantity depending on an angle (α) which is characteristic of the verticality of the container and defined between a first segment (x 1) passing through the first and second measuring points and a second segment (x 2) intersecting the first segment and either passing through the third and first measuring points or through the third and fourth measuring points, • and measuring the verticality from the variations of the quantity depending on this angle (α), considered over at least one revolution of the container.
