Rivet Sizing Guidelines

  • Rivet diameter: Should be 2.5-3x the thickness of the thinnest sheet
  • Hole size: Rivet diameter + 0.1-0.2mm (0.004-0.008") clearance
  • Edge distance: Minimum 2x rivet diameter from edge
  • Spacing: Minimum 3x rivet diameter center-to-center
  • Rivet length: For blind rivets, grip range + 1.5x diameter for bucktail formation
