ISO 80369-7 Luer Gauge Set and Reference Connectors

ISO 80369-7 Luer Gauge Set and Reference Connectors

The ISO 80369-7 Luer Gauge Set helps laboratories and manufacturers select the correct reference connector or dimensional gauge for Luer connector verification. It is useful when customers need to confirm whether the sample is a male Luer connector, female Luer connector, Luer slip connector or Luer lock connector.

The set covers ISO 80369-7 Figure C.1 to Figure C.6 reference connectors, as well as Male Plug Gauge and Female Ring Gauge for dimensional and fit checking. Each item can be supplied separately or combined into a set according to the customer’s test scope.

If the project requires liquid leakage, subatmospheric air leakage or axial load testing, suitable ISO 80369-20 test equipment should be selected together with the required ISO 80369-7 reference connector, dimensional gauge or fixture.

Quick Selection Guide

This guide is intended for quick selection. The final item should be confirmed according to the connector type, sample geometry, test method and required standard clause.

Included ISO 80369-7 Reference Connectors and Gauges

Which Item Do You Need: Reference Connector or Gauge?

Customers often confuse ISO 80369-7 reference connectors with plug / ring gauges. The difference is important when selecting the correct product.

A reference connector creates the required mating interface for a test configuration. A dimensional gauge is mainly used to check whether the connector interface fits the expected Luer geometry. ISO 80369-20 equipment is required when the test involves pressure, leakage or mechanical loading conditions.

Selection Notes for Male and Female Luer Connectors

For Male Luer Connector Testing

If the sample is a male Luer connector, the required item may be a female reference connector or a Female Ring Gauge depending on the test purpose.

Typical related items include:

• ISO 80369-7 Figure C.1 Female Reference Luer Lock Connector
• ISO 80369-7 Figure C.3 Female Reference Connector
• ISO 80369-7 Figure C.5 Female Reference Luer Slip Connector
• ISO 80369-7 Female Ring Gauge

The Female Ring Gauge is mainly used for dimensional and fit verification of male Luer connectors. Figure C.1, C.3 and C.5 are reference connectors used in specific male Luer connector test configurations.

For Female Luer Connector Testing

If the sample is a female Luer connector, the required item may be a male reference connector or a Male Plug Gauge depending on the test purpose.

Typical related items include:

• ISO 80369-7 Figure C.2 Male Reference Luer Slip Connector
• ISO 80369-7 Figure C.4 Male Reference Luer Lock Connector
• ISO 80369-7 Figure C.6 Male Reference Connector
• ISO 80369-7 Male Plug Gauge

The Male Plug Gauge is mainly used for dimensional and fit verification of female Luer connectors. Figure C.2, C.4 and C.6 are reference connectors used in specific female Luer connector test configurations.

Relationship Between ISO 80369-7 and ISO 80369-20

ISO 80369-7 is related to Luer connectors used in intravascular and hypodermic applications. It covers Luer connector requirements and related reference connector configurations. ISO 80369-20 provides common test methods for small-bore connector performance testing, including leakage, air leakage and axial load related methods.

In practical laboratory use, ISO 80369-7 reference connectors or dimensional gauges may be required together with ISO 80369-20 test equipment. For example, a customer may need a Figure C.2 or Figure C.4 reference connector together with a liquid leakage tester, or a Figure C.6 reference connector together with an axial load test setup.

The ISO 80369-7 Luer Gauge Set should therefore be understood as a reference connector and dimensional gauge solution. It is not a complete leakage or axial load test system by itself.

Related ISO 80369-20 Test Equipment

The ISO 80369-7 Luer Gauge Set provides reference connectors and dimensional gauges for Luer connector verification. When functional performance testing is required, such as liquid leakage, subatmospheric air leakage or axial load separation testing, the appropriate ISO 80369-20 test equipment should be selected according to the required test method.

KINGPO can support customers with both ISO 80369-7 reference connectors and ISO 80369-20 test equipment, helping laboratories build a more complete medical small-bore connector test solution.

Typical Applications

The ISO 80369-7 Luer Gauge Set is suitable for laboratories and manufacturers working with Luer connector verification and ISO 80369 related test preparation.

Typical applications include:

• Syringe Luer connector verification
• Needle hub connector checking
• IV cannula and infusion connector inspection
• Luer slip and Luer lock connector R&D validation
• Incoming inspection of connector components
• Factory QC for medical connector assemblies
• Third-party laboratory preparation before ISO 80369 related testing
• Connector comparison during design change or supplier evaluation

For customers handling multiple connector types, a complete ISO 80369-7 Luer Gauge Set can reduce the risk of selecting the wrong reference connector or dimensional gauge.

Technical Features

• Organized as a practical ISO 80369-7 selection set for laboratories handling multiple Luer connector types.
• Supports both reference mating configurations and basic dimensional / fit verification needs.
• Helps customers avoid selecting the wrong connector by separating male Luer, female Luer, Luer slip and Luer lock applications.
• Individual Figure C.1 to C.6 reference connectors can be supplied according to the required test configuration.
• Male Plug Gauge and Female Ring Gauge are available for dimensional and fit checking before further performance testing.
• Can be matched with ISO 80369-20 liquid leakage, air leakage or axial load test equipment when functional testing is required.
• Suitable for R&D verification, incoming inspection, production QC and third-party laboratory test preparation.
• Product datasheet, material information, dimensional confirmation or hardness information can be provided where applicable.

Configuration Notes Before Quotation
