Testing of Screw Withdrawal

  • measurements of screws and bores in mm
  • screw withdrawal given in kN
  • results given are the average of at least 10 tests

Preparation of the tests

  • skin : 3 mm particle board
  • 4mm of frame material trimmed off
  • boring according to the table

Screws

  • all measurements with particle board screws SPAX
  • thread reach according to the table
