Designation:E 1807 01An American National StandardStandard TerminologyPertaining to Metal Connector Plates1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 1807;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 The definitions of terms pertaining to metal connectorplates provide meanings and explanations of 46 technical termswhich are in common use by both the technical expert,such asthe plate fabricator and user,and the non-expert architect,engineer,specification writer,building code official,and otherswho deal with metal connector plates in one way or another.1.2 This terminology does not cover terms relating to themechanical properties of the materials used for fabricatingmetal connector plates nor does it cover their use.1.3 The terms are listed in alphabetic sequence.Compoundterms appear in the natural spoken order.Where the definitionsare adopted verbatim from other sources,they are identifiedand fully referenced.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:A 653 Specification for Steel Sheet,Zinc-Coated(Galva-nized)or Zinc-Iron Alloy-Coated(Galvannealed)by theHot-Dip Process2E 8 Test Methods for Tension Testing of Metallic Materials3E 489 Test Method for Tensile Strength Properties of MetalConnector Plates4F 547 Terminology of Nails for Use with Wood and Wood-Base Materials53.Terminology3.1 Definitions:angle of placement of metal connector plateangle ofinclination of lengthwise axis of metal connector plateparallel to longitudinal axis of coiled metal strip,that is,main direction of metal connector plate to direction oftest-load application to wood member of connection;withzero-degree angle defined as that of lengthwise plate axisbeing parallel to load direction;and angle greater than zerodefined as that of lengthwise plate axis being rotatedclockwise away from the loading axis when facing the platedconnection.butted wood memberwood member with its squared end orside placed adjoining the squared end or side of anotherwood member;with both abutting members of same thick-ness and in a single plane.connection,nstructural junction of two or more woodmembers,components,or assemblies,designed to be con-nected with mechanical fasteners,adhesives,welds,or acombination thereof,to transmit structural forces safely.Colloquially,the term joint is used in place of the termconnection.connector,nwithin the restrictions of this terminology,abbreviation for metal connector plate.connector holeopening in metal connector plate,resultingfrom punching integral tooth from,or nail hole in,connectorplate during its fabrication.Also called slot when opening isnot round.control plateSee solid metal-coupon control specimen.control specimenSee solid metal-coupon control speci-men.fastener,nintegral tooth of connector plate and/or separatenail used to fasten connector plate to wood member.finished metal connector plategalvanized or chemicallysurfaced steel connector plate,with or without prepunchedholes.gross cross-sectional connector plate areacross-sectionalarea of metal connector plate determined by multiplyinggross thickness of plate by gross dimension of plate approxi-mately perpendicular to direction of load application.integral tooth of metal connector plateplate projectionpunched from metal connector plate at approximately rightangle to its surface which remains attached to plate andserves as a fastening element.lateral resistance of metal connector plateresistance toslip or pulling,or both,from wood,in direction of appliedexternal shear force,of integral teeth or separate nails,orboth,fastening connector plate to wood members.Alsocalled tooth holding resistance,grip resistance,and peel1This terminology is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E06 onPerformance of Buildings and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E06.13on Structural Performance of Connections in Building Constructions.Current edition approved Oct.10,2001.Published November 2001.Originallypublished as E 180796.Last previous edition E 180796.2Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 01.06.3Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 03.01.4Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 04.11.5Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 15.08.1Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959,United States.resistance to cover specific events;yet,preferably calledlateral resistance.See shear strength of metal connectorplate.length of metal connector platedimension of metal con-nector plate parallel to longitudinal axis of coiled metal stripfrom which plate was sheared during its fabrication,notnecessarily along the long plate dimension.E 489lumber,na sawn piece of wood smaller than 100 mm(4 in.)in its least dimension.metal connector platefinished(coated or galvanized)steelor bare stainless-
