ASME B18.7-2007 pdf – General Purpose Semi-Tubular Rivets,Full Tubular Rivets,Split Rivets, and End Caps.
23 Material
Semi-tubular and full tubular rivets shall be made from low carbon steel (0.1% carbon or less) (UNS G10050), commercial vetkiw brass (UNS C26800), copper ((iNS C14700), aluminum (UNS A95052), or other materials as agreed upon between the manufachirer and the purchaser
2.6 Finish
Unless otherwise specified, rivets shall be supplied with a natural (as processed) finish, unplated or uncoated. Rivets may be furnished plain (ban metal) or with a protective coating (electrodepesited plating and/or chemical conversion coating) as specilied by the user, All rivets shall be provided with a supplementai-v lubricant If necessary to meet the stated performance requirements without galling. The lubricant shall be clean and dry to the touch, shall not be irritating to normal skin, nor emit an unpleasant odor during rivet assembly. The perlormance of rivets that are furnished with a protective coating shall not deteriorate when the rivets are stored indoors for a period cu 6 months. In cases where rivets are given a protective coating or are cleaned following delivery to the purchaser, the rivet producer shall not be held responsible for failure of the rivet to meet dimensional, mechanical, or performance requirements traceable to pbting. coating. or cleaning practice. Lubrication (e.g.. waxing) may improve the setting of the rivet.
NOTt Nickel and chromium Itnishes are wy hard and, theref fl have a tendency to flake off Ihe end of the rivet when
it Is set by the eaer
2.7 WorkmanshIp
The rivets shall be free from all burrs, seams, or other imperfections that might Impair their usability. Rivets are not machined or trimmed, and unevenness of the tubular end shall not be such that the usability of the rivet shaH be impaired, when dinched with properly aligned, appropriate setting tools.
2.8 DesIgnation
2.8.1 Semi-tubular and full tubular rivets shall be designated by the following data iii the sequence shown
(a) nominal size
(1’) length (fraction or decimal equivalent)
(c) product name
(d) material
(e) protective finish, if required
EXAMPLES:
(1) ASMl 6)8.7, 146 X 54X) Semi-tubuLar Rivet, Oval Head, Steel. ZInc-Ilated
(2) ASME 618.7, 188 X ) Full Tubular Rivet, flat, Countersunk Head, Steel
2.8.2 For a recommended part identifying number (PIN) system for rivets, see ASME BI824.
3.6 Finish
Unless otherwise specified. rivets shall be supplied with a natural (as processed) finish, unpiated or uncoated. Rivets may be furnished plain (bare metal) ni- with a protective coating (electrodepesited plating and/or chemical conversion coating) as specified by the user. All rivets shall be provided with a supplementary lubricant if necessary to meet the staled performance requirements without galling. The lubricant shall be clean and dry to the touch, shall not be irritating to normal skin, nor emit an unpleasant odor during rivet assembly. The performance of rivets that are furnished with a protective coating shall not deteriorate when the rivets are stored indoors for a period of 6 months. In cases where rivets are given a protective coating or are cleaned lollowing delivery to the purchaser. the rivet producer shall not be held responsible for failure of the rivet to meet dimensional, mechanical, or performance requirements traceable to pbting. coating, or cleaning practice. lubrication (e.g., waxing) may improve th setting of the rivet.
MYI Nickel arid chroiiuum finlhes are very hard, arid therelore will have a tendmcv to flake oil the end ol the rivet when It is set by the u9ee.
3.7 WorkmanshIp
The rivets shall be free from all burrs, seams, or other imperfections that might impair their usahilit Rivets are not machined or trimmed, and unevenness of the end shall not be such that the usability of the rivet shall be impaired, when clinched with properly aligned, appropriate setting tools.
3.8 Designation
Split rivets shall be designated by the following data in the sequence shown:
(a) nominal rue
(1’) length (fraction or decimal equivalent)
(c) product name
(d) material
(e) protective finish, if required
