1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, 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.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.

5. Dimensional Tests
5.1 Dimensions to be evaluated include, but shall not be limited to length, stock diameter, diameter or major dimensions of head,
straightness, head concentricity to shank, and length of point. For mechanically deformed nails, angle, depth, and configuration
of deformations shall be measured as specified. Other dimensional characteristics shall be measured when required. Any suitable
measuring means may be applied.
6. Tension Test
6.1 Nails are not subject to tension testing. However, wire used to make the nails may be tested as required by prior agreement
or to affect mill product control. The testing of wire is covered in the general section of Test Methods A370 and Supplement IV,
