Conical Fittings with a 6% (Luer) Taper for Syringes, Needles and Certain Other Medical Equipment — Part 1: General Requirement
1 Scope
This part of GB/T 1962 specifies dimensions, requirements and test methods for conical fittings with a 6% (Luer) taper for use with hypodermic syringes and needles and with certain other apparatus for medical use.
This part is applicable to conical fittings made of rigid and of semi-rigid materials and with a 6% (Luer) taper for use with hypodermic syringes and needles and with certain other apparatus for medical use (hereinafter referred to as conical fittings). It is not applicable to conical fittings with a 6% (Luer) taper and made of more flexible or elastomeric materials.
Figure 1 illustrates typical male 6% (Luer) conical fitting (“male fitting”) and female 6% (Luer) conical fitting (“female fitting”).
Note: It is not practicable to define the characteristics of rigid or semi-rigid materials with precision, but glass and metal may be considered as typical rigid materials. By contrast, many plastic materials may be regarded as semi-rigid although the wall thickness is an important factor influencing the rigidity of a component.
