1、Designation: F547 06 (Reapproved 2012)Standard Terminology ofNails for Use with Wood and Wood-Base Materials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F547; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of originaladoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last
2、 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 under six headings tofacilitate quick reference.
3、They are intended to apply to metal nails. Some of these terms are alsoapplicable to plastic nails. Omitted are terms relating to tacks, pins, drift pins, dowels, studs, spikes,staples, and other fasteners, such as nail plates. Also omitted are terms relating to the testing and theperformance of nai
4、ls, that is, their drivability, withdrawal resistance, lateral load transmission, creep,protrusion resistance, and splitting; and methods of use, such as face, toe, side, and end-nailing,spacing, loading conditions, etc. These subject matters will be covered in a separate definition of termsrelating
5、 to mechanical fasteners.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; hence, they are included among the term
6、s listed.Any such listing cannot be complete.As additional terms are referred to the Societys attention, theywill be included.An asterisk (*) behind the name of a nail indicates that this particular nail type is described inSpecification F1667.Whereas dimensions are normally not part of a definition
7、, they are included in this standard becausethey are essential in fully describing the fastener under consideration.The definitions are listed under the following headings:Nail Nail Heads Nail ThreadsNail Types Nail Points Miscellaneous Terms1.
