1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the requirements for the testing procedures for
interference-fit/form-fit blind rivet joints and lock bolt joints made of metallic
and non-metallic materials.
interference-fit/form-fit blind rivet joints and lock bolt joints made of metallic
and non-metallic materials.
The tests required for a particular joint depend upon the performance requirements of the component/assembly and shall be established before any testing is undertaken.
The term sheet as used in this International Standard includes extrusions, cast material, plastics, and fibre-reinforced plastics, e. g. carbon and glass fibre-reinforced plastics.
NOTE Specific service, material, or manufacturing conditions can require more comprehensive testing than specified in this International Standard. Such tests can include macro and micro sections, fatigue, and/or endurance tests.
This International Standard does not apply to civil engineering applications such as metal building and steel construction which are covered by other applicable International Standards.
