Wear testing - ISO 14242-1, ISO 14242-2

ISO 14242-1 - Implants for surgery — Wear of total hip-joint prostheses — Part 1: Loading and displacement parameters for wear-testing machines and corresponding environmental conditions for test

ISO 14242-2 - Implants for surgery — Wear of total hip-joint prostheses — Part 2: Methods of measurement

 

The international ISO 14242-1 standard specifies the angular movement, the pattern of the applied force, the speed and duration of testing, the sample configuration and the test environment for wear testing of total hip-joint prostheses.

The ISO 14242-2 standard specifies gravimetric techniques of assessment of wear of the acetabular component of total hip-joint prostheses.
