2、ar of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscriptepsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThe terms included in these definitions are listed in alphabetical order to facilitate quick reference.They are
3、intended to apply to collated and cohered nails, staples, and pins driven by strike, pneumatic,electric, manual, and spring tools. Omitted from consideration are terms relating to the testing and theperformance of fasteners, that is, their drivability, withdrawal resistance, pull-through resistance,
4、lateral load transmission, creep, protrusion resistance, splitting, and methods of use, such as face, toe,side, and end-nailing, spacing, loading conditions, etc. Reference is made to ASTM TerminologyF547, Terminology of Nails for Use with Wood and Wood-Base Materials,2for terms that areapplicable t
5、o related fasteners that may or may not be collated or cohered.Common acceptance and usage are the basis for most of the definitions listed. In some instances,this common usage results in more than one definition for a given term. In other cases, registeredtrademarks have become generic in nature; h
