1、Designation: F 592 84 (Reapproved 2006)Standard Terminology ofCollated and Cohered Fasteners and Their ApplicationTools1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 592; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the
2、year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) 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 a
3、re 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 resistan
4、ce,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 TerminologyF 547, Terminology of Nails for Use with Wood and Wood-Base Materials,2for terms that areapplicab
5、le to 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 natur
