Primer on Rivets for experimental aircraft construction - HomebuiltHELP

A video clip from "RV Rudder Workshop" ( HomebuiltHELP) showing how to use and identify rivets that are used in constructing metal experimental aircraft.

Finally a good explanation about the various terminology

[@robertrumfelt7843]

Very clear. Best I've seen on the topic.

[@jamesatieno5993]

Awesome video. Great explanation. Kudos

My only quibble is: the gauge shown is not really a go-no go gauge. It only makes the no-go easy to judge, but it will slide over a rivet that is really too short, with no indication other than a visual check to see how short it is. Go-no gauges are supposed to eliminate any visual judgement.

[@jeremyhowes2399]

Question: Is the 462 rivet head width predetermined ? eg. is a 6-4 rivet head dia, the same as a 4-4 ?

[@CrowT]

No they will not be the same. One is a 1/8th inch rivet and the other is a 3/16th diameter rivet. So naturally the head size on the 3/16th will be larger.

[@jeremyhowes2399]

@@CrowT Thank you for your reply, my question seems a bit absurd a year on and riveting nearly every day.

[@CrowT]

@@jeremyhowes2399 Learning all those numbers and what they mean is confusing at first. It was for me for sure.

[@jeremyhowes2399]

@@CrowT It proved difficult for me being English, as Imperial, feet, inches, fractions, were swapped for metric in 71-72.

[@chippyjohn1]

@@jeremyhowes2399 Tell me about it. Not sure why they are still talking imperial. This video is from WW2 era.

[@andrewalexander9492]

No, that is not a "go/no-go" gauge. A go/no-go gauge is a gauge that allows two tests, one for a minimum allowable dimension, and one for a maximum allowable dimension. For example, if you were inspecting metal rods which were manufactured to a tolerance for diameter, a go/no-go gauge would have two holes, one the minimum allowable diameter for the rods, and one the maximum allowable diameter. If a rod fits into the lager hole (go) , but doesn't fit into the smaller hole (no-go) than it is within spec and passes that inspection. If it fits into both holes (go/go), it is too small, and if it won't fit into either hole (no-go/no-go), it is too big

How dare you say the A in AN stands for Army/Navy it actually stands for Airforce

Ooops... thanks for correction!

jrowden19 it actually stands for army navy. MS stands for military standards.

Army Navy

[@stryker4240]

Wrong. Its Air force Navy

[@GamingwithKandA]

@@youstayjackin6066 AN is for Air Force Navy. The first military standardized bolts were originally called AC for Air Corp. The Air Corp was later renamed Air Force and the Standard changed to AN for Air Force Navy.
