ASTM F2180-02(2015) - 1.9.2015
 
1. Scope

1.1 This specification covers the materials, dimensional tolerances, constructions, and mechanical properties for standard metallic implantable strands and cables.

1.2 This specification is intended to assist in the development of specific strand and cable specifications. It is particularly appropriate for high load bearing applications. It is not intended however, to address all of the possible variations in construction, material, or properties.

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
