Why should you use BS EN 6101 - Flush head rivets ?
Flush riveting is a way of connecting two pieces of sheet metal together, using rivets whose heads do not protrude above the surface of the metal. In aircraft construction, a flush rivet reduces drag, thus increasing aircraft performance. It is used primarily on external metal surfaces where good appearance and the elimination of unnecessary aerodynamic drag are important.
A flush rivet takes advantage of a countersink hole; they are also commonly referred to as countersunk rivets.
BS EN 6101 specifies the dimensions, tolerances and masses of rivets with 100° medium flush head, close tolerance, inch series. This can benefit you as this information is used in various aerospace applications. This can help you increase safety in operations.
