For an arc-length profile with radius , the equation isThus gives locally, while gives wherever . At their mean curvatures are respectivelyso different choices of give locally noncongruent surfaces with the same constant Gaussian curvature.
For , rotate the unit-speed profilenear . Since , the resulting regular surface of revolution has . At its principal curvatures are and , so the point is not umbilical when and no neighbourhood of it lies on a sphere.
