ASTM D6867-03(2009) - 1.9.2009
 
1. Scope

1.1 This specification covers tubing produced from PFA Fluoropolymer resins which are cited in Specification D 3307. This document specifies tubing dimensional tolerances, tensile properties and related electrical properties as noted in the appropriate tables when tested in accordance with the methods cited in this specification. This specification is for virgin material only and does not address recycled material, as it is not appropriate for PFA tubing.

Note 1—Abbreviations are in accordance with Terminology D 1600.

Note 2—There is no known ISO equivalent to this specification.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.3 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 7, of this specification.
