42、by the purchaser in theinquiry, contract, or order.S1. Inside Surface CleanlinessS1.1 Tubing with ID size of greater than or equal to 0.060in. (1.5 mm) shall meet the requirements of ASTM A 632Supplement 3 for cleanliness. The method for inspecting insidesurface cleanliness for smaller ID sizes shal

43、l be agreed uponbetween purchaser and supplier.F2257033APPENDIXES(Nonmandatory Information)X1. RATIONALEX1.1 The primary reason for this specification is to estab-lish a tubular product standard for 18 Chromium-14 Nickel-2.5Molybdenum stainless steel used in fabricated stents and othersmall diameter

44、 implantable devices.X1.2 ISO Standards are listed for reference only. Althoughthe ISO 5832-1 Standard listed in 2.3 is similar to thecorresponding ASTM standards, they are not identical. Use ofthe ISO standard instead of the preferred ASTM standards maybe agreed upon between the purchaser and suppl

45、ier. Thecomposition of ISO 5832-1 Composition D is similar toSpecification F 138 and Specification F 139.X1.3 When measuring wall thickness, tubing to be mea-sured will be sufficiently prepared to eliminate any burr orother material that will interfere with accurate mechanical oroptical measurement.

46、 This preparation can be done by endfinishing procedures such as reaming and deburring, ECMcutting or EDM wire cutting (for micrometer and LVDTmeasurement) or metallographic mounting, grinding and pol-ishing (for optical measurement).X1.3.1 Metallographic preparation for optical measurementwill be p

47、erformed in such a way as to maximize sample edgeretention and minimize sample deviation from perpendicular.X1.3.2 Micrometers used for wall measurement will have apin diameter or effective anvil diameter less than the minimumtube ID size.X1.3.3 LVDTs shall have a precision consistent with therequir

48、ed wall thickness tolerance.X1.4 Precision and BiasThe choice of wall thicknessmeasurement technique is critical for tubing with very thinwalls. Once a method is agreed upon between purchaser andsupplier, the bias and precision of the method should beevaluated to insure the method is accurate and re

49、peatable. Inthe absence of bias and precision data, no test method shall beused to reject tubing with measured wall thickness within0.0002 in. (0.005 mm) of the specification limits.X1.5 Percent concentricity as defined in 3.1.2 representsthe full range of concentricity. It is preferred that purchasersspecify this full range of concentricity with no 6 modifier. Forpurposes of tolerancing, however, the percent concentricitymay be divided by two and the resulting value may be used asa plus and minus tolerance which when applied to the nominalwall thickness will define the a
