Nail, Staple & Fastener Testing

Two nails look identical. One will last as long as the material it secures, the other fails at the first hammer blow. The success of your project may depend on the nail; the success of your nail or fastener product may depend on its approval by agencies like the International Code Council (ICC).

Stork Materials Technology offers a comprehensive range of testing services designed to find the minute—even microscopic—reasons why a nail, staple, or fastener fails.

By identifying potential problems and flaws early, Stork Materials Technology nail and staple testing services can earn ICC approval, help extend service life, reduce operating and replacement costs, and ensure greater operating safety.

Stork maintains state-of-the-art machine shops that are fully equipped and dedicated to precision testing per specification requirements. In addition, our highly trained staff possesses extensive experience in engineering, mechanics, and metals science to ensure the highest quality nail and staple evaluations.

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
  • National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
  • American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
