A type of rivet used in aircraft construction, characterized by a solid shank that undergoes changes during installation, increasing its diameter, bearing strength, and shear strength.

Rivet head shape specifically designed for aircraft, replacing both round and brazier head rivets. Provides a universal fit and is commonly used in aircraft construction.

The spacing between rivets in a row, influencing the strength and load distribution of the rivet joint. It's crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of aircraft.

A code system used to categorize rivets based on their size, head style, and alloy material. This system helps identify the correct rivet for specific applications.

A rivet head style designed for applications where aerodynamic smoothness is important. Typically used on exterior surfaces of high-speed aircraft.

A standard used to identify materials and specifications, commonly used in aviation.

A standard used to identify materials and specifications, stands for American Society for Testing & Materials.

A standard used to identify materials and specifications, stands for Military Standard.

A standard used to identify materials and specifications, stands for National Aerospace Standard.

Three numbers used to identify the style of the rivet head.

A style of rivet head that is flush with the aircraft skin, reducing drag and improving aerodynamics.

A type of rivet with a round head, not flush with the aircraft skin, causing some drag, often used on slower aircraft.

A code that tells you the type of metal the rivet is made out of.

The diameter of the shank is measured in 1/16th of an inch. For example, AN470AD6-8 has a diameter of 8/16", or 1/2".

Choosing the right rivet size based on the material thickness is crucial for strength and good fastening. The rivet's diameter should be 2 ½ to 3 times the thickness of the thicker sheet being riveted.

Rivet spacing refers to the distance between the centers of rivets in a row. The minimum spacing is usually 3 ½ times the diameter to ensure adequate load distribution.

Edge distance is the space between a rivet and the edge of the material being riveted. It's crucial for preventing cracking or pulling away of the material.

The minimum edge distance for universal rivets is 2 times the rivet diameter, while countersunk rivets need at least 2 ½ times the diameter.

Incorrect edge distance can lead to structural problems. Too close can cause cracking; too far can cause alignment issues. It's important to adhere to the recommended guidelines.

Whenever possible, use rivets with the same alloy material as the sheet being riveted. This ensures compatibility and prevents corrosion or other issues.
