What is an Expanded Metal?

An Expanded Metal (METAL,EXPANDED) is a ferrous or nonferrous metal sheet, that has been slit and expanded to form a mesh, which is used for reinforced concrete work or plaster wall construction and also for making grille vents and for such articles as trays where stiffness is needed with light weight.

What is a Structural Cellular Core Material?

A Structural Cellular Core Material (CORE MATERIAL,CELLULAR,STRUCTURAL) is a light durable material having a cellular core of uniform geometric shapes. It is primarily used for, but not limited to, aircraft structure, such as fuselages, control surfaces, compartments, radomes, and the like. For items with a metallic or nonmetallic facing see PANEL, STRUCTURAL, AIRCRAFT.

What is a Structural Panel?

A Structural Panel (PANEL,STRUCTURAL) is a flat sheet of sandwich construction, having a wood, formed plastic, or fiberglass core bonded to metallic or fiberglass facing material. It is primarily used for fabricating parts, such as floors, control surfaces, compartments, and the like. Excludes CORE MATERIAL, CELLULAR, STRUCTURAL.

What is a Trackway Surfacing Outfit Plate?

A Trackway Surfacing Outfit Plate (PLATE,TRACKWAY SURFACING OUTFIT) is a preformed, generally honeycomb-type metallic or plastic plate element which is linked to other plate elements and designed to be laid as a MAT, TRACKWAY SURFACING OUTFIT. It is used as a supporting surface for crossing rough terrain with soft ground, slopes, dunes, ditches, banks or fords of inland waters, and as a rapidly emplaced helicopter landing pad or aircraft landing strip. Excludes MAT, BEACHING, WOVEN WIRE.

NATO Supply Class 5680 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 56, which is dedicated to Construction and Building Materials.

NATO Supply Class 5680 specifically refers to Miscellaneous Construction Materials. This class includes a wide range of materials that are used in construction projects but do not fall under any specific category within the group.

Some examples of miscellaneous construction materials that fall under this class include:

1. Adhesives and sealants: These are used for bonding and sealing various construction materials such as wood, metal, glass, and concrete.

2. Insulation materials: This includes materials used for thermal, acoustic, and electrical insulation, such as foam, fiberglass, and mineral wool.

3. Protective coatings: These are coatings applied to surfaces to protect them from corrosion, weathering, and other forms of damage.

4. Expansion joints: These are used to accommodate movement in structures caused by temperature changes, settling, or seismic activity.

5. Reinforcement materials: This includes materials used to strengthen concrete and other construction elements, such as steel bars, wire mesh, and fiberglass.

6. Fasteners and connectors: These are used to join different construction elements together, such as screws, bolts, nails, and brackets.

7. Temporary construction materials: This includes materials used for temporary structures, such as scaffolding, formwork, and temporary fencing.

It's important to note that this classification is specific to NATO and is used for procurement and logistics purposes within the organization. The purpose of these classifications is to ensure standardized identification and categorization of materials for efficient supply chain management.
