Scope

1.1 This specification covers the requirements for five compositions of wrought seamless stainless steel tubing for the manufacture of surgical implants. Material shall conform to the applicable requirements of Specifications F 138, F 1314, F 1586, F 2229, or F 2581. This specification addresses those product variables that differentiate wrought seamless tubing from the bar and wire product forms covered in these specifications.

1.2 This specification applies to cold finished, straight length tubing from 0.125 to 1.315 in. (3.18 to 33.4 mm) nominal outside diameter (OD) and 0.018 in. (0.46 mm) and greater nominal wall thickness.

1.3 The specifications in 2.1 will be referred to as the ASTM material standard(s) in this specification.

1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
