How to measure a rivet

Rivet measurements

Rivets are measured not by the length of the body but instead the maximum material thickness that can be fastened. Steps to measuring a rivet

   First measure the thickness of the parts being joined and use this measurement to select the MAX Grip Range. Grip Range is the minimum and maximum material thickness the rivet is intended to be used with
   Measure the diameter of the hole. Matching the rivet diameter this is the measurement of the body of the rivet

   Diameter: This is the measurement of the body of the rivet.
   Grip Range: This range is the minimum and maximum material thickness the rivet is intended to be used with.
   To choose the correct rivet length, first measure the thickness of the parts being joined and use this measurement to select the MAx Grip Range.
   The reason rivet measurements are focused on grip range instead of barrel length is because there is a minimum protrusion of 1.5x the diameter of the rivet on the blind side for it to properly secure the materials and meet the specified load values.
   If only the barrel length measurement is available, we also provide this measurement for all of the rivets we offer.
