ISO-594/1 Fig 4 Female Reference Conical Fitting

ISO 594/1 FIGURE 4 FEMALE REFERENCE CONICAL FITTING

ISO 80369-7:2016 cancels and replaces the first edition ISO 594-1:1986 and the second edition of ISO 594-2:1998, clauses, subclauses, tables, figures, and annexes of which have been consolidated and technically revised.

Compatibility/Interchangeability Between ISO 594/1 Fig 4 and ISO 80369-7 Fig C.5
The ISO 594/1 Figure 4 Female Reference Conical Fitting is replaced by ISO 80369-7 Fig C.5 Female Reference Luer Slip Connector. The ISO 80369-7 Figure C.5 is not identical to the ISO 594/1 Figure 4 Reference Fitting; so it cannot be certified as ISO 80369-7 Figure C.5. The good news is that the ISO 80369-7 Figure C.5 Female Reference Luer Slip Connector is backward compatible with the ISO 594/1 Figure 4 Reference Fitting; so it can be certified and used in ISO 594/1 designated testing. For those who just need to know the full details; the minimum conical length changed from the ISO 594/1 Figure 4 requirement of 7.5mm minimum; to the ISO 80369-7 Figure C.5 requirement of 10.5mm minimum. I think it is obvious to see that an ISO 80369-7 Figure C.5 Female Reference Luer Slip Connector with a certified minimum length of 10.5 will always meet the ISO 594/1 Figure 4 Female Reference Conical Fitting minimum requirement of 7.5mm minimum.

ISO 594/1 Fig 4 Female Reference Conical Fitting
The ISO 594/1 Fig 4 Female Reference Conical Fitting is used in the ISO 594/1 specified tests of the ISO 594/1 Luer Male 6% Conical Medical Connectors. Keeping with the requirements of ISO 594/1; the ISO 594/1 Fig 4 Female Reference Conical Fitting is made from hardened stainless steel.

The ISO 594/1 Fig 4 Female Reference Conical Fitting has design details which are not specified in ISO 594/1 and which allow connection to test equipment. These design details vary by manufacturer. With the addition of an adapter the various designs will all work with the Enersol Test Equipment; so there is no need to replace existing ISO 594/1 Reference Fittings to utilize the Enersol Test Equipment. The photos above help illuminate these design differences.

The ISO 594/1 Fig 4 Female Reference Conical Fitting is an integral part of Luer needle and syringe testing and is. The ISO 594/1 Fig 4 Female Reference Conical Fitting is assembled to samples for tests such as liquid leakage, air leakage, separation force, and stress cracking.
