1、Designation: D6117 13Standard Test Methods forMechanical Fasteners in Plastic Lumber and Shapes1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6117; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A

2、 number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThe use of plastic lumber and shapes often involves the use of mechanical fasteners, such as nails,screws, bolts, lag screws, and conn

3、ectors. Data on the strength and performance of such fasteners arefrequently needed for design and for comparative purposes. Presented herewith are methods ofconducting tests for nail, staple and screw withdrawal resistance and lateral load transmission by nail,staple, screw, and bolt. The use of st

4、andard methods for these tests is recommended as a means ofobtaining comparable data and of eliminating variables in test results because of variation in testingmethods.1.

Scope4.1 This test method provides a basic procedure for evalu-ating the resistance or plastic lumber and shapes materials todirect withdrawal of nails, staples, and screws. Spikes areincluded

18、 as nails in this test method.4.2 This test method also provides a basis for determiningcomparable performance of different types and sizes of nails,staples, and screws in direct withdrawal from plastic lumberand shapes.5. Summary of Test Method5.1 Specimens consist of “as manufactured” plastic lumb

19、erand shapes, with nails, staples, or screws driven at right anglesto one or more faces. The fasteners are withdrawn at a uniformrate of speed by means of a testing machine, and the maximumload is recorded. Supplementary physical properties of theplastic lumber and shapes are also determined.6. Sign

20、ificance and Use6.1 The resistance of plastic lumber and shapes to directwithdrawal of nails, staples, or screws is a measure of its abilityto hold or be held to an adjoining object by means of suchfasteners. Factors that affect this withdrawal resistance includethe physical and mechanical propertie

21、s of the plastic lumberand shapes; the size, shape, and surface condition of thefasteners; the speed of withdrawal; physical changes to plasticlumber and shapes or fasteners between time of driving andtime of withdrawal; orientation of fiber axis; the occurrenceand nature of prebored lead holes; and

22、 the temperatures duringinsertion and withdrawal. These factors will be as circum-stances dictate, and representative of the normal manufacturingprocess.6.2 By using a standard size and type of nail, staple, orscrew, withdrawal resistance of plastic lumber and shapes canbe determined. Throughout the

23、 method this is referred to as thebasic withdrawal test. Similarly, comparative performances ofdifferent sizes or types of nail, staple, or screw can bedetermined by using a standard procedure with a particularplastic lumber and shape, which eliminates the plastic lumberand shapes product as a varia

24、ble. Since differences in testmethods can have considerable influence on results, it isimportant that a standard procedure be specified and adheredto, if test values are to be related to other test results.7.

Test Nails, Staples, or Screws8.1 Nails:8.1.1 Nails used for basic withdrawal tests shall bediamond-point round-wire, low-carbon-steel nails nominally0.148 in. (3.76 mm) in diameter and 3 in. (76 mm) in

27、length(See Note 2). Use each nail only once.NOTE 2A 10d galvanized common steel wire nail meets this require-ment.8.1.2 For determining holding ability of different sizes ortypes of nails in plastic lumber and shapes, the respective sizesand types of nail will be as circumstances dictate. These nail

(51-mm) long,716-in. (11-mm) crown, 15gage (0.072-in. (1.83-mm) galvanized steel

Use eachstaple only once.8.2.2 For determining holding ability of different types orsizes of staples in plastic lumber and shapes, the respectivestaples shall be representative of the normal manufacturingprocess, and special cleaning of the legs shall not normally beundertaken.8.3 Screws:8

Sampling9.1 Sampling needs to provide for selection of representa-tive test materials on an objective and unbiased basis, coveringan appropriate range in density and pro

32、perties as circumstancessuggest.D6117 1329.2 The tests need to be sufficiently extensive to providereliable results. Where analysis by statistical procedures iscontemplated, experience and sometimes advance estimatescan be used to establish the scope of testing and type ofsampling needed to achieve

33、the expected reliability.NOTE 3The precision required, and thus the manner of sampling andnumber of tests, will depend upon specific objectives. No specific criteriatherefore can be established. General experience indicates that thecoefficient of variation from tests of fasteners ranges from about 1

34、5 to30 %. When such is the case, precision of 5 to 10 %, with 95 % confidence(an often accepted general measure of reliability for testing of woodproducts) cannot be achieved without making a rather large number oftests. The present recommendation is to make at least ten replications foreach variabl

Drive nails of the type outlined in 8.1.1 and staples ofthe type outlined in 8.2.1 at right angles to t

36、he face of thespecimen to a minimum total penetration of 114 in. (32 mm).With the specimen oriented in a flatwise (plank) position, drivetwo fasteners into the top face (width), two into the side face(height), and one into each end. End and edge distances shallbe sufficient to avoid splitting. In ge

37、neral, edge distances needto be not be less than 112 in. (38 mm) and two fasteners shallnot be driven in line with each other or less than 2 in. (50 mm)apart on the top and side faces. Drive nails manually with ahammer. Insert staples with an appropriate tool, as nearly aspossible perpendicular to t

38、he specimen surface, with the staplecrown at a 45 (610) angle to the axial dimension of thespecimen.10.1.2 For basic withdrawal tests from plastic shapes, thetest specimen shall be a single thickness of the “as manufac-tured” product. Drive nails of the type outlined in 8.1.1 thoughthe specimen at r

39、ight angles to the face, permitting at least12in. (13 mm) of the shank portion to remain above the surface.Drive nails manually by means of a hammer. Insert staples withan appropriate tool as in 10.1.1, with the staple crown orientedat a 45 (610) angle to the axial dimension of the specimen.10.1.3 F

With the specimen oriented in a

(17 mm)at midwidth, at least 2 in. (50 mm) from the end of thespecimen. The size of lead hole shall be 70 % of the rootd

Thread screws into the specimen for the lengthof the threaded portion of the shank or two thirds of the shanklength, if it is threaded throughout. The size of lead hole, if oneis to be drilled, shall be

49、70 % of the root diameter of the screwfor a distance of one half of the screw length.10.2.3.1 If the potential exists for the withdrawal resistanceto be influenced by the material through which the screw is tobe threaded, thread the screw through the fastened member(cleat) into the base fastening member.11.
