How to select the right high strength blind rivets
1. Confirm the Fastened Materials
Different materials require different rivet designs and material combinations.
2. Measure the Total Grip Thickness
The total riveted thickness is the combined thickness of all the materials being joined. It directly determines the required clamping range for the rivet.
3. Check the Hole Size
The hole diameter directly affects the installation results and the stability of the connection. If it is too large or too small, it will affect the riveting results.
4. Identify the Load and Vibration Conditions
Determine whether the connection point is subject to loads, vibration, shock, or long-term stress. Select the appropriate rivet configuration based on the actual stress conditions at the connection point.
5. Choose the Right Structure Type
Depending on the structure, you can choose from Hucklok Rivets, BOM Rivets, and Lockbolt fastening solutions. Different structures are suitable for different connection applications.
6. Select Material and Surface Finish
Select the appropriate surface treatment method based on strength requirements, the corrosive environment, and the materials to be joined.
7. Confirm the Installation Tool
High-strength blind rivets require a higher riveting force than standard blind rivets. Select the appropriate manual, pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic tool.
8. Consider Sample Testing Before Bulk Orders
For structural fastening applications, we recommend that you conduct sample testing before placing a bulk order. Make adjustments in a timely manner.
