Designation:F 1054 01Standard Specification forConical Fittings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 1054;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification specifies dimensions and gaging re-quirements for cones and sockets intended for connectinganesthetic and respiratory care equipment including,but notlimited to,breathing systems(resuscitators,ventilators,andanesthesia gas machines),anesthetic gas scavenging systems,and vaporizers.This specification gives requirements for thefollowing cones and sockets:1.1.1 15-and 22-mm sizes intended for general use inbreathing systems;1.1.2 22-mm size latching connectors(including perfor-mance requirements)intended for general use in breathingsystems;1.1.3 23-mm size intended for use with vaporizers intendedfor use outside the breathing system;and1.1.4 30-mm size intended for the connection of a breathingsystem to an anesthetic gas scavenging system.1.2 It is expected that standards for particular medicaldevices will provide details on the application and implemen-tation of these conical connectors.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:F 1205 Specification for Anesthesia Breathing Tubes22.2ISO Standards:3ISO R129 Engineering DrawingsDimensioningISO 1302 Technical DrawingsMethods of Indicating Sur-face Texture on DrawingsISO 3040:1990,Technical DrawingsDimensioning andTolerancingConesISO 4135:1995,Vocabulary3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 22-mm latching connectorfemale connector for en-gagement with a male connector of 22-mm size complyingwith this specification,and that has a feature to reduce thepossibility of accidental disconnection.3.1.2 Additional terms used in this specification are definedin accordance with ISO 4135.4.Conical Connectors Made of Metal4.1 General RequirementsThe dimensions of conical con-nectors made of metal including those made of compositematerials in which the mating surfaces are metal,shall be asshown in Figs.1-3 and Table 1.NOTE1See Annex A5 for dimensions of plug and ring gages for theconnectors.4.2 Additional Requirements for Conical Connectors of22-mm Size:4.2.1 If a 22-mm male conical connector incorporates acircumferential groove or grooves,the total width of thegroove or grooves at the surface shall not exceed 8 mm.4.2.2 If a 22-mm male conical connector incorporates arecess,the recess shall be as shown in Fig.2.4.2.3 If a 22-mm male conical connector incorporates ashoulder,the shoulder or equivalent construction shall be asshown in Fig.3.5.Conical Connectors Made of Materials Other ThanMetal5.1 General RequirementsConical connectors made ofmaterials other than metal shall meet the following require-ments when they are type tested with gages having dimensionsas shown in Fig.A1.1 and Table A1.1.5.1.1 Conical connectors made of materials other than metalshall meet the dimensional requirements in Fig.1 and Table 1,with the exception that the Dimensions A and B and Ratio Fmay vary from those shown.5.1.2 When the connector is engaged in the appropriate plugor ring test gage shown in Fig.A1.1 and TableA1.1,its leadingedge shall lie between the minimum and maximum diametersteps of the gage when an axial force of 35 6 3.5 N for 15-mmconnectors,and 50 6 5 N for 22-and 30-mm connectors,isapplied and while maintaining the same axial force the1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F29 onAnesthetic and Respiratory Equipment and is the direct responsibility of Subcom-mittee F29.10 on Anesthesia Workstations.Current edition approved March 10,2001.Published May 2001.2Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 13.01.3Available from American National Standards Institute(ANSI),25 W.43rd St.,4th Floor,New York,NY 10036.1Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959,United States.connector is rotated up to 20.The connectors and gages shallbe maintained at a temperature of 20 6 3C during the test.NOTE2Because connectors made from plastic materials,for example,polyamide,polyacetal,polycarbonate,polysulfone,and so forth,may varygreatly in their physical characteristics,it is not considered practicable tospecify their dimensions;for this reason,gaging requirements have beenincluded.It is also considered impracticable to generalize on matters,suchas cold flow and thermal instability,as well as possible changes in physicalcharacteristics with solvents,and so forth.5.1.3 It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to makecertain that adequate tests have been carried out to ensure thata suitable material is chosen for the connectors.5.2 Additional Requirements for Conical Connectors of22-mm SizeThe requirements given in 4.2 apply.6.22-mm Latching Connectors6.1 22-mm latching connectors shall not become disc
