GOST 10637-2010 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 10637-2010 — "Плиты древесно-стружечные. Метод определения удельного сопротивления выдергиванию гвоздей и шурупов" (English: "Wood particle boards. Method for determination of resistivity to nail and wood screw withdrawal"). The standard specifies a laboratory test method to measure the specific resistance of particleboard to pull-out of nails and wood screws from face and edge positions, used for quality control and comparative assessment of board performance.

Abstract

This standard defines sampling, preparation of test specimens, the test setup and procedure, and calculation of the specific pull-out resistance for nails and wood screws in particleboard. It is intended to provide a reproducible method to quantify the mechanical retention of fasteners in particleboard products.

Scope

The standard applies to wood particleboards (древесно-стружечные плиты) and establishes a laboratory method to determine specific resistance to withdrawal of nails and wood screws from board face (пласть) and edge (кромка). The procedure covers specimen selection and preparation, mounting in a test machine, test execution and calculation of specific pull-out resistance values for comparative and quality-assurance purposes.

Key topics and requirements

• Sampling and specimen preparation: orientation, dimensions and conditioning of specimens prior to testing.
• Test locations: face (plasty) and edge (kromka) mounting positions with specified insertion depths; note that edge screw pull-out is defined for boards with thickness ≥ 15 mm.
• Test apparatus and alignment: use of a tensile/test machine with fixtures to align fastener axis with loading axis.
• Test procedure: screw or nail insertion method, loading rate, and recording of maximum withdrawal force.
• Calculation and reporting: conversion of measured pull-out force to specific resistance (force per unit length or per relevant parameter) and presentation of results for comparison.
• Normative references and related test methods cited within the standard (referenced GOSTs for fasteners and sampling).

Typical use and users

Used by particleboard manufacturers, quality control and testing laboratories, product certification bodies, research institutions and material engineers to evaluate and compare the holding power of nails and screws in particleboard grades, to support product specifications and to assess suitability for furniture and joinery applications.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ГОСТ 10637-2010 is a test-method standard for wood particleboards that specifies how to determine the specific resistance to withdrawal of nails and wood screws (a method for measuring fastener retention).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers specimen sampling and preparation, required test fixtures and machine alignment, detailed test procedures for face and edge locations, and calculation/reporting of specific pull-out resistance values. The edge screw test is explicitly noted for boards of thickness 15 mm and greater.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Particleboard manufacturers, independent testing laboratories, product certifiers and R&D groups use the standard for quality control, specification compliance and comparative performance testing of particleboard products.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2010 edition has been superseded — it was introduced in 2012 and later replaced by ГОСТ 10637-2019 (the 2019 edition is the active/replacing standard). The 2010 text is therefore marked as replaced.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of the body of GOST standards covering wood-based panels and test methods (the 10637 series covers the same test subject across editions; related GOSTs address other test methods, fastener specifications and board properties).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: particleboard; screw withdrawal; nail pull-out; retention strength; mechanical test; wood-based panels; ГОСТ 10637.
