RIVET DESIGN AND SELECTION:
1.
Rivet shear and tensile strength: The rivet selected and the
number of rivets used in the application should equal or exceed the
joint strength requirements. Typical ultimate shear and tensile
strengths are listed in the catalog. Testing is recommended before
final rivet selection and use in your product.
2.
Rivet body material: Should be compatible with the materials to
be joined to resist galvanic corrosion which may result in reduction
of joint strength. If dissimilar materials are widely separated on
the galvanic chart, it is advisable to separate them with a
dielectric material such as paint or other
coating.
3.
Rivet Grip Range: Select the rivet grip range which includes the
total thickness of materials to be joined. Please note that the
rivet barrel length is not the grip range.
4.
Rivet Hole Size: Recommended hole sizes are listed for each
rivet. An undersize hole will not allow insertion of the rivet body;
an oversize hole will reduce shear and tensile strengths, and may
cause improper rivet setting, all of which promote joint failure.
5.
Rivet Head Style: Various head types are offered to
accommodate different assembly needs. The most popular is the
buttonhead, whose lower-profile head is twice the diameter of the
rivet body. This provides adequate bearing surface for nearly all
applications. The large flange rivet provides greater bearing
surface for fastening soft or brittle facing materials. The
countersunk rivet is available for applications where a flush
appearance is required. And the closed-end is ideal for roofing,
marine, electric or electronics applications.
RIVET
TYPES
Blind Rivets (open or closed end): The are are used for blind
fastening where there is no access to the opposite side of the work.
Bulb-Tite Rivets Shown above. The Bulb-Tite rivet body folds
into three separate legs forming a large blind-side head. This large
bearing head evenly distributes the Bulb-Tite's clamp force in soft,
thin or brittle materials while providing high pull-through
resistance. The Bulb-tite's wide grip range enables a single Bulb-Tite
to work in a greater variation of thicknesses.
Buttonhead Rivets (open end, blind / pop rivets / break-stem
rivets). The are are
used for blind fastening where there is no access to the opposite
side of the work. These have a low profile head diameter which is
about twice the rivet body diameter, providing adequate bearing
surface.
Closed End Rivets: These are moisture resistant due to the
closed end and tight seal. They also have greater shear strength.
Sizes are 1/8 to1/4" diameter.
Extra-Long / Metric Rivets We provide metric blind rivets
according to DIN7337 standards in 3mm, 4mm and 5mm diameters.
Standard material is Aluminum/Steel. Stainless Steel 304 and 316
alloys are available upon special request. All dimensions for Metric
Series are given in millimeters. Additional diameters of 4.8mm, 6mm
and 6.4mm available on special request.
Large Flange Rivets provide greater bearing surface for
fastening soft and brittle facing materials and oversize facing
holes. Multi-Grip Rivets have extended grip range capacity. They
reduce the inventory of sizes needed to keep on hand.
Mega-Grip Rivets The Mega-Grip rivet is a high strength
structural blind rivet offering several advantages over conventional
blind rivets. Mega-Grip's wide grip range enables a single Mega-Grip
to replace up to five different lengths of standard rivets. High
shear strength is achieved by Mega-Grip's flush break self plugging
mandrel. Mega-Grip rivets are hole-filling, resulting in tighter
joints and improved sealing for weather resistance. Mega-Grip rivets
are installed via standard rivet tools and do not require special
nose tips.
Multi Grip Rivets rivets have a wider grip range than standard
blind rivets and several other advantages. The "bulbing" action of
a multigrip blind rivet ensures complete hole fill even in
oversized, irregular or misaligned holes, provides high clamp-up and
high shear strength and ensures positive stem (mandrel) retention,
plugging the end of the rivet body and providing a vibration and
weather-proof seal. Due to the Multi-Grip blind rivets extended grip
range capacity, Multi Grip Rivets reduce the inventory of sizes
needed to keep on hand. We stock aluminum-steel Multi grip rivets.
PolyGrip multi-grip rivets feature a wide grip range, enabling a
single PolyGrip to replace up to three different lengths of standard
blind rivets. PolyGrip rivets expand radially, filling the
application hole, resulting in tighter joints and improved sealing.
The PolyGrip's locked mandrel core creates a weather resistant
fastener. Improved material support is provided by the PolyGrip's
larger blindside head formation. Large flange head style available
upon request.
Open End Rivets: These are the standard design and are available
in a wide variety of sizes and materials, for most any application.
Plastic Rivets: Precision Molded, all nylon. Secure lock feature
prevents pull-out. Used for fastening plastic to plastic, plastic to
metal or fiberglass.
Peel Rivets: These form a large curled underside connection
(banana peel). They are used in metal roofing and to adhere where
backside access is not possible and a larger clamping surface is
needed.
Rivet Materials: The rivet body alloy, in addition to being
chosen for strength requirements, should also be selected for
compatibility with the materials to be joined to avoid galvanic
corrosion caused by coupling dissimilar metals. If dissimilar metals
are widely separated on the galvanic chart, it is advisable to
separate them with a dielectric material such as paint or other
coating.
