Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method covers the preparation, testing andevaluation of metal, metal-coated, or nonmetallic-coatedsmooth or deformed shank driven fasteners installed in treatedwood. Control specimens tested in the same conditio

18、ns shall behot-dip galvanized fasteners that are coated as described inSpecification A153/A153M or bright fasteners with no coat-ings. The fasteners are installed in the treated wood specimenbefore testing so that the chemicals in the wood are in directcontact with the metal or coating. Test samples

19、 are then testedin Steady State Moisture Tests or Cyclic Fog Tests. For eachtype of sample, separate groups of test samples shall be testedunder either or both of the two test conditions. Procedures forconducting tests in two environmental conditions, Steady StateMoisture Tests and Cyclic Fog Tests,

20、 are described as well asposition of the samples and measurement techniques fordetermining the degree of corrosion. Guidance is given formethods of exposure and inspection of corroded fasteners inthe two environmental conditions.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides controlled environ

21、mentswhich are utilized to produce corrosion of metal, metal-coated,or nonmetallic-coated smooth or deformed shank driven fas-teners in contact with treated wood exposed to the given testenvironments. The test method provides information that canbe used to evaluate the corrosion resistance of metal,

22、 metal-coated, or nonmetallic-coated smooth or deformed shankdriven fasteners in contact with different chemical woodtreatments.5.2 The results shall be used for comparative purposes onlyand they shall not be correlated to exposure time in naturalenvironments.5.3 The reproducibility of results in th

23、ese types of tests ishighly dependent on the type of samples tested and theevaluation criteria selected, as well as the control of theoperating variables.6. Apparatus6.1 Steady State Moisture TestThe apparatus required forsteady state moisture tests shall consist of a test chamber,provisions for hea

24、ting the chamber, a humidifying tower, asupply of compressed air, sample supports, and necessarymeans of control.6.1.1 There are no size or construction requirements otherthan those needed to meet the requirements of the test method.6.1.2 A schematic diagram of a typical apparatus is shownin Practic

Air Supply8.1 The compressed air supply shall be free of water, grease,oil and dirt.NOTE 1The air supply may be freed from oil and dust by passing itthrough a suitable

30、 oil/water extractor (that is commercially available) tostop any oil from emerging. Many oil/water extractors have an expirationindicator; proper preventive maintenance intervals should take these intoaccount.9. Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units9.1 Fastener Specimens:9.1.1 A minimum of 65 fas

31、teners shall be used for completeevaluation per this test method using both test conditions onany type of sample fastener; metal, metal-coated, ornonmetallic-coated. Multiple fastener types may be tested inthe same cycle of testing with one set of control fasteners.Different fastener lengths may req

32、uire different wood sizes toaccommodate the length of the fasteners.9.1.2 Initial Cleaning of Metal, Metal-Coated, orNonmetallic-Coated Smooth or Deformed Shank DrivenFastenersInitial cleaning of fastener shall be done by rinsingwith purified water and drying with forced hot air, air tempera-ture sh

33、all be between 40 to 60C (104 to 140F).9.1.3 Coating MassFive randomly selected fasteners shallbe taken from the cleaned group of fasteners and shall bestripped of coating and weighed to determine the averagecoating mass. Stripping and weighing of zinc and zinc-alloyproducts shall be in accordance T

34、est Method A90/A90M. TheG198 11 (2016)2mass for an individual fastener shall be determined to thenearest 0.001 g (0.000032 oz). Coatings other than zinc shallbe stripped using an appropriate method to measure coatingmass of the corrosion-resistant layer(s). Coatings other thanzinc and zinc-alloys sh

35、all have their mass or coating thicknessdetermined by one of the following methods; Test MethodB487, Test Method B499, Test Method B504, or Practice E376.9.1.4 Fastener DiameterThe sample group of five randomfasteners from 9.1.3 shall be used to measure the core diameterof the fastener. The diameter

36、 shall be measured at mid-length,610 mm (60.4 in.), on the shank of each fastener and is theminimum diameter measurement at the selected cross section.For deformed shank fasteners the measurement shall be madeat a portion of the shank that has not been deformed, if such asurface is available. Portio

37、ns of nail shanks with gripper marksshall also be avoided, if possible. The diameter shall bemeasured to the nearest 0.025 mm (0.001 in.) The five samplediameter measurements shall be averaged to obtain the groupfastener diameter.9.1.5 Control Fastener GroupThere shall be a group ofhot-dip galvanize

38、d fasteners that are galvanized to Specifica-tion A153/A153M. When testing some coated fasteners, themore appropriate control fastener group will be bright fastenersrather than galvanized fasteners. Fasteners in the controlsamples shall be of the same nominal diameter and length asthe fasteners that

39、 are being tested and shall have similargeometry to the fasteners that are being tested.9.2 Treated Wood Specimens:9.2.1 Each treated wood specimen used in this procedureshall be weighed using a balance or scale to the nearest 0.5 g(0.001 lb). Wood for this test method shall be Southern Pinesapwood.

40、 The sapwood of other wood species may be added tothe testing program and details of the additional wood speciesshall be provided in the final test report.9.2.2 The treated wood specimens used in this procedurerequire a conditioning period prior to installation or contactwith the fasteners to be eva

41、luated.9.2.2.1 The conditioning of the treated wood specimensshall be accomplished in an environmental chamber at arelative humidity of 95 % with a tolerance for the controllermeasurement device of 63 % and a temperature of 32C(90F) with a tolerance on the temperature controller measure-ment of 62C

42、(3F). The treated wood specimens shall be heldin the chamber in these conditions until the treated woodspecimens reach equilibrium. Equilibrium is defined as nomore than a 60.2 % change in a 24-h period of the averagemass of ten randomly selected treated wood specimens. Thesemeasurements shall be co

43、nducted every 24 h, and mass shall berecorded and the change calculated until such equilibrium isachieved. Conditions for treated wood specimen conditioningshall be the same as the Steady State Moisture Test conditions.9.2.2.2 Moisture content of the treated wood specimen shallbe determined on one o

44、f the treated wood specimens. Thebeginning and final moisture content of the treated woodspecimen shall be determined using calibrated meters inaccordance with Test Method D4444 for samples with a knownmoisture adjustment for the preservative or by oven dryingmethods in accordance with Test Method D

45、4442 for anysample.9.3 Test Samples:9.3.1 When preparation of the fastener specimens and thetreated wood specimens are complete, the fastener specimensshall be installed in contact with the treated wood specimens.9.3.2 The evaluation of the fasteners shall be conducted byinstalling them into the tre

46、ated wood specimen as done inapplication, that is, by hand driving or power driving with nopre-drilled pilot holes. When the test objective is the compari-son of wood treatments, the use of pilot holes is permitted toreduce variables associated with fastener installation. Fastenerheads shall be inst

47、alled such that the bottom of the fastenerhead is in contact with the surface of the treated woodspecimen and shall not be installed so deep that the top of thefastener head is below the surface of the treated woodspecimen. Fastener placement shall avoid knots in the wood.Fasteners shall not be inst

48、alled into sections of the wood thatcontain heartwood as this wood does not accept a uniformchemical treatment.Atest sample shall no longer be consideredvalid if the fasteners cause a split that exceeds two fastenerdiameters in length. A test sample that has any observablesplitting around more than

49、one fastener shall not be used inenvironmental condition tests.9.3.3 Fastener center-to-center spacing shall be a minimumof ten times the fastener diameter from the closest nearbyfastener, with a clear zone (containing no fasteners) of 38 mmFIG. 1 Layout of Fasteners on Treated Wood SpecimenG198 11 (2016)3(1.5 in.) from the ends of the treated wood specimen in Fig. 1,which shows an example of a test sample for nails with amaximum diameter of 3.3 mm (0.131 in.).
