BS EN 2941:2008 – Aerospace series — Nickel alloy rivets — Technical specification

1 Scope
This standard specifies the performance and test requirements for solid rivets in the nickel alloys quoted below, intended for aerospace applications. It applies wherever it is specified in the document defining the rivet. Its use, after agreement between the customer and the supplier, for solid rivets made from other materials, requires determination, case by case, of the minimum tensile and double shear loads.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1 batch for all tests, inspections and supplies, a batch of rivets is defined as follows: finished rivets of the same form, diameter and length, manufactured by the same process, made from one material, batch from the same heat treatment furnace with the same surface treatment, and deriving from the same wire coil and the same place of manufacture The maximum mass of each batch is limited to 25 kg.
3.2
rivet wire samples
for the test, each rivet batch shall be accompanied by rivet wire samples taken from each end of the coil used to manufacture the batch. The samples shall be submitted to the same heat treatment as the rivets of that batch 3.3
rivet samples
rivet samples intended for tests shall be chosen at random from each batch
4 Required characteristics
The rivets shall conform with the requirements of the document defining the rivet and those prescribed in Table 1 . Inspections and tests are to be carried out by the rivet manufacturer.
