Standard Test Method for Determining the Relative Corrosion Performance of Driven Fasteners in Contact with Treated Wood

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This test method provides controlled environments which are utilized to produce corrosion of metal, metal-coated, or nonmetallic-coated smooth or deformed shank driven fasteners in contact with treated wood exposed to the given test environments. The test method provides information that can be used to evaluate the corrosion resistance of metal, metal-coated, or nonmetallic-coated smooth or deformed shank driven fasteners in contact with different chemical wood treatments.

5.2 The results shall be used for comparative purposes only and they shall not be correlated to exposure time in natural environments.

5.3 The reproducibility of results in these types of tests is highly dependent on the type of samples tested and the evaluation criteria selected, as well as the control of the operating variables.
