Standard Specification for Wrought Seamless Stainless Steel Tubing for Surgical Implants
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
This specification covers the requirements for three compositions of wrought seamless stainless steel tubing for the manufacture of surgical implants. Materials shall be tested and shall conform to chemical composition, metallurgical requirements, and mechanical properties. Materials and manufacture are also detailed.
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
1.2 This specification applies to cold finished, straight length tubing from 3 to 34 mm (0.125 to 1.315 in.) nominal outside diameter (OD) and 0.5 mm (0.020 in.) and greater nominal wall thickness.
1.3 The specifications in 2.1 are referred to as the ASTM material standard(s) in this specification.
1.4 The values stated in either inch-pound or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Inch-pound units are shown in parentheses. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
