1.1本试验方法提供了评估成品金属连接板净截面有效剪切阻力的基本程序。 1.2试验方法E489涵盖了金属连接板拉伸性能的测定。 1.3试验方法D1761涵盖了使用金属连接板期间木构件中的齿和钉子的性能。 1.4本试验方法是确定不同类型和尺寸的金属连接板抵抗剪切力的比较性能的基础。 1.5本试验方法提供了一个量化金属连接板抗剪强度特性的程序，并不旨在确定用这些板制造的连接件的设计值。 1.6本试验方法不适用于暴露在长时间环境中的金属连接器板的腐蚀试验- 术语不利环境条件，其中由于暴露导致板劣化。在这种情况下，应为耐腐蚀性测试引入特殊规定。 1.7如有争议，以括号内的英寸-磅单位为准。 1.8 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全和健康实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。

1.1 This test method provides a basic procedure for evaluating the effective shear resistance of the net section of finished metal connector plates. 1.2 The determination of the tensile properties of metal connector plates is covered in Test Method E489. 1.3 Test Methods D1761 covers the performance of the teeth and nails in the wood members during the use of metal connector plates. 1.4 This test method serves as a basis for determining the comparative performance of different types and sizes of metal connector plates resisting shear forces. 1.5 This test method provides a procedure for quantifying shear strength properties of metal connector plates and is not intended to establish design values for connections fabricated with these plates. 1.6 This test method does not provide for the corrosion testing of metal connector plates exposed to long-term adverse environmental conditions where plate deterioration occurs as a result of exposure. Under such conditions, special provisions shall be introduced for the testing for corrosion resistance. 1.7 In the case of dispute, the inch-pound units, shown in parentheses, shall be governing. 1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
