UTS of 316L hypodermic needles

UTS of 316L hypodermic needles

UTS of 316L hypodermic needles

(OP)
I'm trying ot specify a required minimum UTS for 316L full hard hypodermic needles.  I'm working specifically with 15RW and smaller. An ASTM number would help.

RE: UTS of 316L hypodermic needles

How about ISO?

ISO 9626 Stainless steel needle tubing for the manufacture of medical devices

Thanks.  I'll have look.  I found ASTM A908-03 but was not sure if it applied to 316L also.  I did not see the molybdenum in the chem requirement.

RE: UTS of 316L hypodermic needles

Vita Needle states that their hypodermic tubing is full hard giving a 150 ksi min tensile. I have another reference that states the same thing hypodermic tubing, but gives no values.

If you look at 316 wire it will give a little higher values, 185 ksi min TS for full hard.

ASTM A666 give the cold worked properties of SS.
