Expert Commentary
Governs Direct Nail Withdrawal. This measures the force required to pull a nail straight out of the panel face or edge. The standard specifies a constant rate of withdrawal (1.5 mm/min). MTO provides a U-shaped withdrawal fixture that supports the panel while allowing the nail head to be gripped. The technical focus is on the rate of loading, as wood is a viscoelastic material; pulling too fast can result in an overestimation of the withdrawal strength due to the time-dependent nature of fiber friction.
