Timber Structures - Test Methods - Torsional Resistance of Driving in Screws
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 15737 standard focuses on assessing the torsional resistance of driving in screws in various wood-based materials such as solid timber, glued laminated timber, and others. The purpose of this standard is to provide a standardized test method for measuring the ability of screws to withstand torsional forces during the driving process.
By establishing specific criteria and procedures for conducting the tests, the DIN EN 15737 standard ensures consistent and reliable results across different materials and testing conditions. The standard aims to determine the maximum torque that can be applied to a screw before it fails or reaches a specified displacement limit.
These testing methods are crucial in the construction and engineering industries to ensure that screws used in timber structures have adequate torsional resistance. Compliance with this standard helps ensure the safety and reliability of timber structures.
