Understanding Nail Sizes

/in /by

Hammer and nails. Just like peanut butter and jelly, it is a classic combination that has always existed. Do you Understanding Nail Sizes?

To Although hammers and nails seem simple, do you know which nails to use in each application? Nails also have right and wrong uses. Suitable nails have the strength, size, and other design features suitable for the job at hand. The wrong nails may cause weak connections and/or damage to the wood.

To The physical principle of how nail art works is simple. When nailing the wood, the shaft of the nail pushes the wood fibers away when the needle tip penetrates. The fixing force of the nail comes from the simple friction of the displaced bentwood fibers that clamp the shaft of the nail. The nails come in different sizes and shaft configurations. So that it can maximize their retention in different applications.

Nail Materials

Nails can be made from a variety of metals, including ordinary steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, or aluminum. Or, nails can be galvanized or plated with zinc or another metal. Most construction nails are steel, often with some kind of surface coating.

Many construction nails are coated with a thin layer of vinyl, which acts as a lubricant when driving the nail. Nails can also be coated with phosphate to improve their holding power. A nail that is uncoated in any way is often called a “bright” nail. 

How Nails are Size. The Spruce / Margot Cavin You’ve heard of nail sizes referred to as 10d, 16d, and so on. The number and “d” suffix are called the “Penny” system. The English penny used to be designated with a “d” representing the first letter of the Roman coin denarius. Originally, the penny number referred to the cost for 100 nails of a particular size. An 8d nail, for example, cost 8 pennies for 100.  Today, the penny system refers specifically to nail length. A 2d nail is 1 inch long, for example, while a 16d nail is 3 1/2 inches long. Each higher number in the penny system represents a 1/4-inch length increase, up to a 12d nail (3 1/4 inches long). After the 12d nail, the penny system does not have a clearly defined relationship to length.

Black PVC coated wire

/in /by

Black PVC coated wire can be used in daily life binding and industrial tying as tying wire. PVC coated wire also can be used in wire hanger or handicraft production. In addition, there are many types.

1.Type: dark green, bright green, white, black, yellow, etc.

PVC coated wire

2. Material:

The inner core of PVC coated wire includes:

  • Electro-galvanized wire.
  • Hot-dip galvanized wire.
  • Black iron wire.
  • Modified wire.
  • Stainless steel wire, etc.

3. Art:

The PVC coated wire is processed. So that the PVC plastic and the inner core wire are combined together and a protective film is formed on the surface.

4. Features:

  • Anti-aging,
  • anti-corrosion,
  • anti-cracking,
  • A longer service life than ordinary iron wires.

5. Uses:

  • Animal breeding
  • Agriculture
  • forestry protection
  • Park fences
  • stadium fences, etc.

Black PVC coated wire specification:

Core wire diameterDiameter after coated
0.8mm1.2mm
1.0mm1.4mm
1.4mm2.0mm
2.0mm3.0mm
2.5mm3.5mm

Note: PVC coated wire is different from PVC wire. The process of plastic coating (for metal “wire”) is one of the processes of plastic coating. Coating includes various coating (or coating) processes such as dipping, spraying, and over molding. So, PVC coated wire is also called PVC coated wire. Unlike PVC wire (pure non-metallic material with no metal core in the middle). The former uses the properties of metal and belongs to the metal wire series. The latter only uses the properties of metal and belongs to the non-metallic wire series.

    A Guide to the Types of Roofing Nails

    /in /by

    The roofing nails are cleverly designed to help you do better. Although they are very different in material, size and type, all roof nails have a useful feature: a diamond-shaped point. This point is specially designed to keep the deck intact when it pierces. We will introduce you to the types, sizes and materials you can choose when choosing roof nails.

    Type of Roofing nail:

    1. Smooth shank

    The shank of the nail is the part of the nail that pierces the material you are nailing. Simply put, smooth calf nails have a smooth calf. They are the most basic type of roof nails and are cheaper than the other two options.Smooth handle roof nail

    2. Ring shank

    Ring shank nails are also called ring roof nails or corrugated roof nails. As many of its names suggest, this type of nail has a loop along the handle. They are not connected because they are connected with screws. Nonetheless, these rings still provide extra staying power or grip for the nails in shingles and sheathsThe head diameter of all roof nails is usually the standard 3/8 inch. The larger size of the head may increase the risk of exposing part of the nail head at the standard nail position on the shingle.Ring handle roof nailAn IKO test found that circular calf nails are 300% stronger than smooth calf nails. Therefore, when performance, especially wind resistance is a priority, please choose these nails

    Types of Roofing nail material:

    1.Steel

    Steel nails are very strong. It used outside the house. So that it must have the advantages of rust and corrosion prevention. It requires the use of stainless steel nails and galvanized corrugated nails.  Galvanized nails add a layer of protection, can better prevent rust and corrosion.  There are two methods of galvanized nails: hot dip galvanized and electric galvanized.  Hot dip, which produces a thicker zinc layer and lasts longer, is preferred.  
    2.Copper

    Copper nail anti corrosion corrosion is strong, can also be used to build copper nails, such as copper color on the roof.  
    3.Aluminum

    Aluminum is a weaker metal than steel and copper.  However, some roofers still use aluminum nails on asphalt roof tiles.  Aluminum nails are more susceptible to corrosion, chemical and salt damage than steel nails

      What is concrete Nail

      /in /by

      A concrete nail is a type of mechanical fastener. It used to secure objects into masonry and other hard and brittle materials.

      Nailing into masonry requires the right type of nail, a good quality hammer, and some technique.

      Concrete nails are often used in building construction and in home improvement projects. A concrete nail is a special fastener and is different than a common iron nail.

      There are types of concrete nails:

      • Galvanized concrete nails
      • Color concrete nails
      • Bluish concrete nails with various special nail heads and shank types.

      The shank is what gives concrete nails a very firm holding strength.There are a variety of shank types available:

      • Smooth
      • Ring
      • Twisted
      • Twilled

      How to use concrete nail

      Concrete nails are most often used with a special power tool(Known as a Nail driver). It provides a strong hammering action to allow penetration of concrete. It provides a powerful hammering effect, driving the nail into the concrete in one stroke. 

      The advantages are:

      • Penetrate the concrete quickly and effortlessly.
      • Resulting in a stronger and more accurate
      • mechanical connection.  

      Concrete nails can also be hammered by hand.  Direct can be difficult to handle, easy to pin deflection. But don’t worry, we can pilot hole, slightly smaller than the diameter of the nail. It usually before hand hammering nails drilled into the concrete.  The pilot hole helps maintain the accuracy of the hole and reduces the force required to pound the nail.

      Safety Precautions:

      Many DIyers use hand tools without hearing and eye protection. They believing that only power tools can guarantee this level of care. But any time you’re using a hammer or other impact tool, it’s best to use basic safety equipment.  Hammers can easily snap nails — especially brittle hardened steel of concrete or masonry nails — and make them fly in the air.  In some cases, the surface of the hammer may break and send the pieces flying. Prolonged exposure to the noise of drilling can damage hearing.
      Always wear an anti-particle mask when drilling into concrete, as cement dust can damage the lungs.
