Introduction to Syringe Tube Stiffness Tester
For professionals in medical device manufacturing, syringe tube stiffness plays a critical role in ensuring the reliability, safety, and usability of hypodermic needles. The Syringe Tube Stiffness Tester, specifically designed to evaluate the stiffness of stainless steel needle tubing, provides a reliable method for quality control and standard compliance. This instrument, such as Cell Instruments’ TS-01, is indispensable for meeting the requirements outlined in ISO 9626.
Stiffness is directly linked to mechanical integrity. Tubing that lacks appropriate stiffness may bend, break, or deform during use—posing risks of injury, inaccurate dosing, or contamination. Conversely, overly rigid tubing may fail to provide adequate flexibility, leading to fracture or discomfort. The Syringe Tube Stiffness Tester addresses these challenges by delivering precise, repeatable measurements that conform to global standards.
ISO 9626 and Syringe Tube Stiffness Testing Standards
ISO 9626, specifically Annex B, defines the standard test method for measuring the stiffness of stainless steel needle tubing. This long tail keyword—ISO 9626 testing—is essential for manufacturers who must demonstrate compliance with international medical device regulations.
According to ISO 9626 Annex B:
- The tubing is supported at both ends while a force—up to 60 N—is applied to its midpoint using a wedge-shaped plunger.
- The resulting deflection is measured with a precision of 0.01 mm.
- The test ensures that the tubing’s stiffness is within acceptable limits for the intended medical application.
The Syringe Tube Stiffness Tester from Cell Instruments is engineered to fulfill each of these requirements, making it ideal for quality assurance teams and regulatory bodies.
Working Mechanism and Structure of TS-01 Syringe Tube Stiffness Tester
The TS-01 Syringe Tube Stiffness Tester employs a robust and accurate system designed to minimize measurement errors. It uses:
- А wedge-shaped plunger with a 1 mm radius, inclined at 60°, as specified in ISO 9626 Annex B.
- А precision load cell and movable crosshead to ensure accurate force application.
- А tubing pan that centers the test sample directly beneath the plunger.
This configuration mimics the ISO-specified test conditions, ensuring reproducibility and data integrity.
System Highlights:
- ПЛК-управление и 7-дюймовый сенсорный экран HMI interface
- Precision ball screw drive for consistent speed control
- Variable speed from 1 to 500 mm/min for customized testing
- High-resolution deflection measurement (0.01 mm)
- Защита от перегрузки for equipment and sample safety
- Automatic return function post-test
- Integrated microprinter for immediate result documentation
Test Principle and Methodology Explained
The principle of the stiffness test is straightforward but scientifically grounded:
- Positioning: The syringe tubing is supported at both ends at a span length specified in ISO 9626 Table 2.
- Приложение силы: The plunger applies a downward force at the midpoint, with control over speed (1–10 mm/min for ISO 9626; up to 500 mm/min for customizable tests).
- Deflection Measurement: The instrument measures the tubing’s deflection with ±0.01 mm accuracy.
- Запись данных: Information such as tubing size, material, deflection, test speed, and force applied are recorded and printed.
This test ensures compliance with both ISO and internal quality benchmarks.
