Test Standard for Determining the Tensile and Shear Strengths of Steel Screws
The performance test methods included in this standard establish procedures for conducting tests to determine the tensile and shear strength of steel screws. The screws may be carbon, stainless or bi-metal thread-forming or thread-cutting screws, with or without a self-drilling point, and with or without washers. The intended application for these screws is to connect cold-formed sheet steel materials.
