ISO/DIS 5834-5

This document specifies the test method for assessing the morphology of 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 as 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.
