Calculation of the mass of nails and a brief description of the types

Types of nails and calculator

It is impossible to imagine repair work without the use of nails. It is quite simple to use such hardware, and for this reason such a task is within the power of all craftsmen. The construction market sells a large number of varieties of fastening material, in which nails play an important role. We suggest you consider the types of nails, and in the future you will learn how to calculate the mass of nails.

Features

No matter how advanced construction technologies are, nails will remain one of the best and most popular fastening elements.

Construction studs are a rod with a pointed tip, at the end of which a cap is located. The head and the rod can be of different types and sizes, which determines the purpose of the hardware.

There is a valid GOST 4028 for nails, it regulates the creation of such devices. The material for the manufacture of hardware is usually a low-carbon steel wire with a square or round cross-section, without heat treatment. Even the manufacture of construction nails can be made of copper, steel with or without zinc plating.

Technical parameters:

• The core of the product is available with a diameter of 0. 12 to 0.6 cm.
• The length of the nail can be from 2 to 20 cm.
• The indicator of one-sided rod deflection is from 0.

  01 to 0.07 cm.

The sale of hardware for construction is usually carried out in batches, each of which lies in a corrugated cardboard box weighing 10-25 kg. There is only one typical nail size in the package, and each of its units must be marked.

Scope of use

Hardware for construction is used not just for building frame houses, but also for most other procedures.

They quite often combine different plastic and wooden elements. Certain types of such devices are purely decorative, because after fastening they do not stand out from the wood. The use of construction nails is also important when fastening parts that are outdoors. Slate nails are used for direct installation of the roof, and the fastening of a sheet of slate on a wooden frame. Experts strongly recommend buying galvanized type products to attach the roof.

They prevent the formation of rust and thus keep the roof intact for a long time. In the production of furniture, the furniture construction nail has found its application. It differs from analogs in its thin diameter section and small dimensions. By means of them, furniture thin parts are fixed to each other, for example, the back of the cabinet. Decorative hardware is a short and thin product with a convex head.

This fixture can have both brass and copper surfaces.According to the artisans, nails should be used for their intended purpose. Otherwise, the mount will not last so long.

Weight and dimensions

Construction nails, as well as other hardware, can vary in weight and size, which enables consumers to purchase the most suitable option for their work. thanks to the use of a table and markings on products, the master will be able to accurately determine the type and number of nails to perform certain tasks.

According to information from distributors, consumers most often buy nails 0.6 * 12 cm, with a length of 10 cm.

Overview of varieties

Even before construction of the structure will begin, it is important to determine the number and type of nails, without which it is impossible to do in this matter. At the moment, on the construction market, you can find a wide variety of hardware of this type. Often there are black, flat-headed, tapered stems and the rest.

Construction nails can be of the following types:

1. Slate - as mentioned earlier, such hardware is used when installing slate and attaching it to a wood surface. The nail has a round cross-section of the rod, and also a flat round head with a diameter of 1.8 cm. Such a device is characterized by a diameter of 0.5 cm, and even up to 10 cm long.

   25 cm, and the length is not more than 4 cm. Such hardware is especially popular when working with tar and roofing felt.

6. Finishing - products of this type are small in size, they have a semicircular head. Finishing nails have found application in cladding work on surfaces that are coated with a finishing material.

   release the product only after tapping it has entered the material by about 0.2 cm.

2. If the nails bent when hammering in, straighten them with pliers.
3. For ease of dismantling the hardware for construction, it is enough to use a nail puller.
4. Rotate with pliers.

5. So that the wooden surface is not damaged due to the impact of the nailer, experts advise placing wooden blocks under the tools.
6. For a really good fastening of the materials, the nail should be immersed in the lower element about 70% of the total size.
7. For high-quality installation work of a hinged structure, hardware must be driven in, slightly tilting the head away from you.
8. Small nails need to be hammered in with a doboiner, because this procedure can be inconvenient.

Working with nails can be dangerous as there is always a risk of injury.

For this reason, craftsmen should work very carefully with a hammer, which will not only eliminate unpleasant moments, but will also guarantee a high quality result.
