ASTM F547-22

Overview

ASTM F547-22: Standard Terminology of Nails for Use with Wood and Wood-Base Materials defines a comprehensive set of terms and definitions for various types of metal nails used in wood and wood-based construction. The terminology is organized to help manufacturers, builders, engineers, inspectors, and standard users communicate accurately and consistently regarding nail types, materials, finishes, and application features.

While not a performance or testing standard, ASTM F547-22 serves as a valuable reference for identifying nail types, understanding material and coating options, and ensuring that wooden structures use fasteners that match their design and code requirements.
