5、autionary caveat pertains only to thetest method portion, Sections 7 and 8, of this specification: Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the userof this standard to establish appropriate safety and healthpract
6、ices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to use.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2E4 Practices for Force Verification of Testing Machines3. Materials3.1 Steel Wire, used in the manufacture of nails, shall be ofhard-drawn low or medium-low-carbon steel, entirely
7、suitablefor the purpose intended. Before fabrication it shall be suffi-ciently ductile to withstand cold-bending, without fracture,through 180 over a radius not greater than the diameter of thewire (see Section 8).4. Physical Properties4.1 DuctilityThe nail shall be sufficiently ductile to with-stan
8、d cold bending without fracture when tested according toSection 8.4.2 Withdrawal ResistanceThe average withdrawal resis-tance, both immediate and delayed, shall be at least equal tothat provided by 12.5 gage (0.099 6 0.003 in.) (2.515 6 0.08mm) bright, smooth shank, nails with a medium diamondpoint,
9、 when tested according to 8.2.5. Dimensions and Permissible Variations5.1 HeadsShall be not less than 0.2375 in. (6.0 mm) andnot more than 0.3875 in. (9.8 mm) in diameter, shall be notmore than164 in. (0.4 mm) thick at the peripheral edge, shall beuniformly tapered to a small fillet around the shank
10、, shall beeither flat or concave, and shall be free from protrusions andsharp, irregular edges.5.2 ShanksDiameter shall not vary more than 6 0.003 in.(0.08 mm) for shank diameters 0.076 in. (1.93 mm) or larger.5.3 PointsThe nails shall have medium to long diamondor needle points.5.4 ClearanceWhere a
11、 deformation process producesother than a smooth shank nail, a clearance area (round andsmooth), measured from the top of the head to the deformedsection, shall be provided equal to the nominal thickness of thegypsum board for which the nails are specified.6. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance6.1 T
12、he nails shall be bright, or chemically treated, orcoated with rust inhibiting material provided that such chemi-cal treatment or rust inhibitor does not adversely affect theperformance of the nail as specified in Section 4.

Nails shall be neatly formed and free from injuriousdefects or deformations.7. Number of Tests7.1 At least five nails from each lot of 100 individualcontaine
16、rs shall be examined to determine conformance to therequirements of this specification.8. Test Methods8.1 Bend Test:8.1.1 Significance and UseThis test method is performedto determine the ductility of a nail, and used to determinecompliance with this specification.8.1.2 ProcedureHold the test nail i
17、n a vise and bend bymeans of a clamp or similar device attached to the free end ofthe nail through 90 over a radius not greater than the diameterof the nail.8.1.3 Precision and BiasNeither the precision nor the biasof the nail bend test have been determined.8.2 Withdrawal Resistance8.2.1 Significanc
18、e and UseThis test method determinesthe resistance to withdrawal from a wood block of the test nailcompared to a standard nail. It is used to determine compliancewith this specification.8.2.2 Apparatus:8.2.2.1 Testing machineThe testing machine shall be ofany type that is of sufficient capacity and
19、that is capable ofapplying a tensile load at the strain rate prescribed in 8.2.3.2.The load platform shall be of sufficient size to accept the blockof wood described in 8.2.2.5. The testing machine shall bepower operated and shall apply the load continuously andwithout shock.8.2.2.2 The test apparat
20、us shall be verified according toPractices E4, Sections 16 through 18.8.2.2.3 Load Indicating Equipment, capable of reading to 1lbf (4.45 N) increments shall be provided for the test apparatus.A means shall be provided to indicate the maximum loadattained during the test.8.2.2.4 A means of securing
21、the blocks of wood to theplatform or lower cross head shall be provided so that the nailsare aligned with the direction of pull.Adevice shall be attachedto the upper cross head to grasp the nail head securely and holdit during the test for the purpose of pulling the nail from theblock of wood.8.2.2.
22、5 Wood Nailing BlocksNominal 2 by 6 in. (38 by140 mm) Douglas Fir, construction grade, containing at least16 %, but not more than 19 %, free moisture as determined bya suitable moisture meter. Required wood blocks for a testseries shall be cut from a single piece of lumber creating blocksfree of kno
23、ts.8.2.3 Procedure:8.2.3.1 Alternately use twenty of the standard 12.5 gagenails and twenty of the nails being tested and hammer drive toa depth of78 in. (22.2 mm) into the longitudinal center line ofone edge and one side face of the wood blocks. Space nails 3in. (76 mm) apart. Determine the compara
24、tive performance asfollows:8.2.3.2 ImmediateWithdraw alternate samples of eachtype of nail from each face, ten of each nail, at the rate of 0.06in. (1.5 mm)/min.8.2.3.3 DelayedCondition the lumber, into which thenails are driven, at 50 6 2 % relative humidity and 70 6 5F(21.1 6 3 C) to constant weig
25、ht, after which withdraw theremaining nails.8.2.4 Precision and BiasNeither the precision nor the biashave been determined for the nail withdrawal test method.9. Certification9.1 When specified in the purchase order a producers orsuppliers certification shall be furnished to the purchaser thatthe ma
26、terial is in compliance with this specification.10. Packaging and Package Marking10.1 Unless otherwise specified, nails shall be packaged insubstantial commercial containers of the type, size, and kindcommonly used for the purpose, so constructed as to preservethe contents in good condition and to e
27、nsure acceptance andsafe delivery by common or other carriers, at the lowest rate, tothe point of delivery. In addition, the containers shall be somade that the contents can be partially removed withoutdestroying the containers ability to serve as a receptacle forthe remainder of the contents.10.2 U
28、nless otherwise specified, individual packages andshipping containers shall be marked with the type and length ofnail and the name of the manufacturer or distributor. Individualpackages shall also be marked with the name of the manufac-turer or distributor and the net mass.11. Keywords11.1 gypsum bo
