RIVETED JOINTS
 Initial Form
of a rivet
RIVETED JOINTS
 Caulking and
Fullering process
to make rivet
joints leakproof

Lap Joint Butt Joint

RIVETED JOINTS
 Diameter of shank of Rivet (d) = 6 t
where t = thickness of plate being connected in mm
 The diameter (d) obtained is rounded to the nearest
standard size of rivets.
 The standard sizes in mm as per BIS are: 12, 14, 16,
18, 20, 22, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 42, 48
 Pitch (p) = 3d where pitch is the distance between
axes of adjoining rivets in same row measured
parallel to edges of plates.
RIVETED JOINTS
 Row Pitch (pr) is the distance between two rows.
Row pitch is (2d) mm in zigzag type and (2d+6) mm
in chain type.
 Diagonal pitch (pd) is the distance between axis of
nearest rivets in the adjoining rows. Its value is
7d/3.
 Thickness of cover plates for Butt Joints:

 Thickness of cover plate when only one cover plate

is used, tc1 = 1.125t
 Thickness of each cover plate when two cover plates
are used, tc2 = 0.8t

ASSIGNMENT 4
Q1. Draw sectional front view and top view of a single-riveted
lap joint for 10 mm thick plates.
Q2. Draw sectional front view and top view of a double-riveted
lap joint (i) the chain, and (ii) the zigzag formation for 10
mm thick plates.
Q3. Draw sectional front view and top view of a single-riveted
single cover plate type and double cover plate type butt
joints for connecting 10 mm thick plates.
Q4. Draw top view and sectional front view of a single-riveted
double cover butt joint. Take diameter of the rivet = 24 mm.
Q5. Draw sectional front view and top view of a double-riveted
double strap butt joint (chain type). Take thickness of main
plates = 8mm, cover plates = 5 mm, diameter of rivet = 12
mm, and pitch = 36 mm.
Q6. Sketch various types of welding joints along with their
symbol.
