Abstract

This document specifies the test method for assessing the morphology of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) moulded forms as defined in ISO 5834-2.

The assessment of morphology of UHMWPE moulded forms is not required in routine monitoring of validated moulding process because alternative test methods defined in ISO 5834-2, such as density and mechanical properties, already provide reasonable, redundant assurance of successful consolidation.

This document is not applicable to UHMWPE powder forms, which are described in ISO 5834-1.

NOTE            Performance requirements for this test method have not been established.
