ISO 80369 Annex H | Small-Bore Connectors | Axial-Torsion Testing
ISO 80369 is a series of standard test methods intended to evaluate the performance requirements for small-bore connectors for liquids and gases in medical applications. Each of the annexes within the testing standard describe specific test procedures for evaluating the mechanical properties of small-bore connectors. These annexes allow modification to test conditions as necessary for each application.
Annex H – Principle: The resistance to overriding of male and female locking connectors is determined by observing the thread or lugs of the connector under test after applying the specified torque.
The standard includes test methods that are derived from ISO 594 with some changes to methods that contained subjective acceptance criteria. It is recommended to read the entire specification in the relevant ISO publication prior to running any of the annexes.
ISO 80369 Annex H | Small-Bore Connectors | Axial-Torsion Testing
- Assemble the connector under test to the appropriate male or female reference connector.
- Apply the torque as specified in the standard.
- Hold the torque at this value for the hold period specified without applying any supplementary force in other directions.
