POM
In the context of medical devices, POM tubing is frequently employed as a core wire due to its exceptional properties. Characterized by its high hardness, POM tubing serves as a robust support structure within various medical instruments and devices. Its rigidity and durability make it well-suited for this role, providing stability and reinforcement to delicate components.
Moreover, POM tubing’s super smooth surface finish facilitates seamless movement within devices, ensuring smooth operation and minimal friction. This attribute is particularly advantageous in applications where precise control and maneuverability are essential, such as catheterization procedures or endoscopic interventions.
- Density: The density of POM typically ranges from 1.41 to 1.43 g/cm³, depending on the grade and formulation. This property influences the overall weight and strength of components made from POM.
- Melting Point: POM has a relatively high melting point, typically ranging from 165 to 175°C (329 to 347°F). This characteristic ensures stability and integrity during processing and application in various environments.
- Outer Diameter (OD): The outer diameter of POM tubing ranges from 0.7mm to 3.0mm. This range allows for versatility in various medical and industrial applications, accommodating different fluid flow rates and instrumentation requirements.
- Tolerance: The tolerance for the outer diameter of POM tubing is typically ±0.03mm. This tight tolerance ensures consistency and accuracy in dimensions, crucial for maintaining the integrity and performance of the tubing in demanding environments.
