ISO 594/1 describes dimensions, testing profile, and parameters for testing conical fittings with a 6% (luer) taper for hypodermic syringes, needles, and certain other medical equipment, such as transfusion and infusion sets. This standard covers rigid and semi-rigid materials for gauging and performance.  

Horizontal Torque Tester

 

 

 

 

Vertical Torque Tester

 

Several mechanical tests in section 5, figures 4+5 require torque testing.

Section 5.2 

  • First, according to figures 4 + 5, connect fitting to steel male or female reference fitting.
  • Assemble components by applying an axial force of 27.5 Newtons (6.18 lbf) for 5 seconds while applying a torsional force < or = 0.1Nm (.88 lb-in) and < or = to 90 degrees.
  • Introduce water
  • Expel Air
  • Check to determine if outside of fitting is dry
  • Seal the outlet - bring internal pressure to 300kPa.
  • Maintain pressure 30 seconds. 
**Highlights on the Torsion Requirements for Section 5.3.1.1 and 5.5.1.

 * Apply axial force of 25N for 5 seconds simultaneously applying 0.1Nm to an end limit of 90 degrees. Full description of ISO 594/1-1986 is necessary to complete this test. 

          Torsion collage 

ADMET offers a vertical or horizontal 81T Torsion Testing System. to meet the Torsion requirements of this standard. ADMET's full line of standard testing systems can be tailored or modified to meet the additional requirement of ISO 594/1.
