20、 15737:2009 (E) 5 6 Test Methods 6.1 General The moisture content and density of the test piece shall be determined according to ISO 3130 and ISO 3131. 6.2 Conditioning The test pieces shall be manufactured at an equilibrium moisture content corresponding to (20 2) C and (65 5) % relative humidity.
21、The material is conditioned when it attains constant mass. Constant mass is considered to be attained when the results of successive weightings, carried out at an interval of 6 h, do not differ, by more than 0,1 % of the mass of the material. For further investigations other moisture conditioning ca
22、n be appropriate, and shall be reported. 6.3 Sampling The density of the test pieces or components of the test piece shall comply with the density of the grade used in practise. The upper surface (receiving the point) shall predominantly be radial or tangential. 6.4 Test piece dimensions For solid t
23、imber and glued laminated timber test pieces the minimum dimensions are given in Figure 1. For test pieces made of wood based materials or combinations of wood based materials and solid timber or glued laminated timber the dimensions in the direction perpendicular to penetration shall be as minimum
24、20 d, where d is the nominal diameter of the screw. The test piece dimension in penetration direction shall always allow full penetration of the screw.

25、S EN 15737:2009EN 15737:2009 (E) 6 7 Test 7.1 Test setup The test piece is mounted on the base plate of a frame and fixed in such a way as to prevent any movement during the test. The test rig should allow fixing a moment cell to the screwing device capable of moving in a vertical axis and mounting
26、displacement transducers on either side of the screwing device to measure vertical displacement. An example is given in Figure 2. The moment cell used shall be capable of measuring the torque to an accuracy of 1 % of the torque applied to the screw. The equipment for measuring displacement shall be
27、capable of measuring to an accuracy of 1 % of the measured value. 7.2 Procedure Fix a drive bit into the moment cell and mount a screw into the bit. The screw should be installed according to the manufacturers instructions, including any advice on pre-drilling requirements. Move the cross-head/screw
28、 assembly into a position where the screw tip is resting on the top of the test specimen. Drive the screw into the test specimen, either by using a mechanical drill or screwing machine, or by using a hand screw wrench ( 100 revolutions per minute), until the screw is fully embedded along its entire
29、length in the specimen. For countersunk screws this includes the thickness of the head.

31、rew insertion moment, Rtor,maxprior to the point at which the screw head comes into contact with the test piece surface given by the moment cell. 8 Test report 8.1 Test piece The following information shall be given: a) technical specification of the screw and relevant information on their sampling;

34、ture and relative humidity at the time of test; d) description of the testing device, the test equipment and the measuring instruments; e) any other information which may have influenced the test results. 8.3 Test results The following information for each test piece shall be given: a) maximum value
35、 of the screw insertion moment; b) moisture content of the test piece material; c) actual dimensions, position of the insertion point; d) location of failure if any in the test piece or screw; e) plot of the moment to penetration depth for each specimen; f) any other information, which may have infl
