Information about this document
These standards form part of a series of British Standards for rivets prepared
at the request of the aerospace industry. The 1958 edition provided for ranges
of snap head aluminium and aluminium alloy rivets with head proportions
and shank diameters basically the same as those used hitherto. In general, the
dimensions of the rivets were more closely defined than previously, although the
shank tolerances on sizes above ½ in are wider than those adopted in BS SP 68
to BS SP 71, “100° countersunk precision head aluminium and aluminium alloy
rivets”.
The distribution of the shank tolerances follows the American practice of
allocating the greater part of the tolerance to the positive side, as compared with
the practice in A.S. Standards for rivets of distributing the tolerances about the
nominal diameter. This principle, as well as the proportions of the rivet heads,
has been endorsed by Technical Committee ISO/TC 20 — Aircraft and space
vehicles, of the International Organization for Standardization, as have the
identification markings contained in this revision of the standards. A method for
the identification of undyed versions of the rivets is also given.
Details of rivets with radiused tails for use in auto-riveting machines are given
in Appendix A.
Text introduced or altered by Amendment No. 4 is indicated in the text by
tags . Minor editorial changes are not tagged. Previous amendments are
not indicated.
