Title
Standard Practice for Gravimetric Measurement of Polymeric Components for Wear Assessment
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Mar 1, 2006
Scope:
This practice describes a laboratory method using a weight-loss (that is, mass-loss; see X1.4) technique for evaluating the wear properties of polymeric materials or devices which are being considered for use as bearing surfaces of human joint replacement prostheses, or both. The test specimens are evaluated in a device intended to simulate the tribological conditions encountered in the human joint; for example, use of a fluid such as bovine serum, or equivalent pseudosynovial fluid shown to simulate similar wear mechanisms and debris generation as found in vivo.
Keywords:
- hip wear
- knee wear
- gravimetric method
- weight-loss method
