OK rivet heads!  Here's your chance to help educate me!  I have acquired

a lot of rivets ....... bags of them .... without any ID on them at all.

  How do you identify the rivets with their AN number????  They do appear

to be aviation grade.    How can you tell what the hardness of the rivet

is???  Do you need to know????

Hi Linn:



I did not know you were o this group!



Start with the angle of the flush rivets, they should be 100 Deg.



Then there is a gage you can get for the diameter.  It may even have length.



There are also rivets with a dimple on the head.  Separate them into a 

separate group also.



Now, the rest of the information is located in the AC 43-13

4-57.   Riveting    4-14

    Figure 4-4. Rivet Identification and Part Number Breakdown  4-16

    Table 4-8.  Aircraft Rivet Identification   4-17



There is also information on Hardened, Oversized and Frozen Rivets.

Yes, you need to know the hardness (alloy & heat treatment if any) of 

rivets.



Rivets are marked with a device on the head. One dimple is alloy AD, which 

is the one Van's uses. FAA publication AC43-13 has a list with the head 

devices and the tensile strengths. Probably more than you wanted to know.



Cheers,



Doc Custer

Gee, I thought that dot in the center was for drilling them back out.
