New Test Method for Screw Penetration in Gypsum Panel Assemblies
1. Scope
This test method covers fastener penetration in gypsum panel assemblies for a specified screw, gypsum panel, drill speed and framing member combination.
Note: This test method covers additional framing member types (i.e. wood), gypsum panel type, screw type and drill speed beyond those tested in AISI S220 and ASTM C645/C645M
Keywords
screw penetration, screw spinout
Rationale
To develop a standalone test method that can be referenced not only within ASTM but other publications from other organziations as well.
