Diameter of rivet Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Rivet Diameter = 6*sqrt(Thickness of Plate)
D_rivet = 6*sqrt(t_plate)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 2 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Rivet Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Rivet Diameter is offered from 1/16-inch (1.6 mm) to 3/8-inch (9.5 mm) in diameter (other sizes are considered highly special) and can be up to 8 inches (203 mm) long.
Thickness of Plate - (Measured in Meter) - The thickness of plate is the state or quality of being thick. The measure of the smallest dimension of a solid figure: a board of two-inch thickness.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Thickness of Plate: 12 Millimeter --> 0.012 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D_rivet = 6*sqrt(t_plate) --> 6*sqrt(0.012)

Evaluating ... ...

D_rivet = 0.657267069006199

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.657267069006199 Meter -->657.267069006199 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

657.267069006199 ≈ 657.2671 Millimeter <-- Rivet Diameter

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Efficiency of riveted joint given pitch of rivet

Go Efficiency of riveted joint = (Pitch of Rivet-Rivet Diameter)/Pitch of Rivet

Least rivet value for shearing and bearing given number of rivets in small joint

Go Least Value of Strength = Force Transmitted/Number of Rivets Per Pitch

Force transmitted across joints given number of rivets in small joint

Go Force Transmitted = Number of Rivets Per Pitch*Least Value of Strength

Number of rivets in small joint

Go Number of Rivets Per Pitch = Force Transmitted/Least Value of Strength

Pitch of rivets given efficiency of riveted joint and diameter of rivet

Go Pitch of Rivet = Rivet Diameter/(1-Efficiency of riveted joint)

Diameter of rivet given efficiency of riveted joint

Go Rivet Diameter = Pitch of Rivet*(1-Efficiency of riveted joint)

Diameter of rivet(for dimension in cm)

Go Rivet Diameter = 1.6*sqrt(Thickness of Plate)

Diameter of rivet

Go Rivet Diameter = 6*sqrt(Thickness of Plate)

Thickness of main plate given thickness of cover plate for butt joint with single cover plate

Go Thickness of Plate = Thickness of Cover Plate/1.125

Thickness of main plate given thickness of cover plate for butt joint with double cover plate

Go Thickness of Plate = Thickness of Cover Plate/0.625

Thickness of cover plate for butt joint with single cover plate

Go Thickness of Cover Plate = 1.125*Thickness of Plate

Thickness of cover plate for butt joint with double cover plate

Go Thickness of Cover Plate = 0.625*Thickness of Plate

Thickness of main plate(for dimension in cm)

Go Thickness of Plate = (Rivet Diameter/1.6)^2

Thickness of main plate(for dimension in mm)

Go Thickness of Plate = (Rivet Diameter/6)^2

Diameter of rivet Formula

Rivet Diameter = 6*sqrt(Thickness of Plate)
D_rivet = 6*sqrt(t_plate)

What is the difference between solid shank rivet and special rivet?

Two of the major types of rivets used in the aircraft are the common solid shank type, which must be driven using a bucking bar, and the special (blind) rivets, which may be installed where it is impossible to use a bucking bar. Solid shank rivets are generally used in repair work.

How to Calculate Diameter of rivet?

Diameter of rivet calculator uses Rivet Diameter = 6*sqrt(Thickness of Plate) to calculate the Rivet Diameter, The Diameter of rivet(for dimension in mm) formula is defined as a chord that runs through the center point of the rivet. Rivet Diameter is denoted by D_rivet symbol.

How to calculate Diameter of rivet using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Diameter of rivet, enter Thickness of Plate (t_plate) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Diameter of rivet calculation can be explained with given input values -> 657267.1 = 6*sqrt(0.012).

FAQ

What is Diameter of rivet?

The Diameter of rivet(for dimension in mm) formula is defined as a chord that runs through the center point of the rivet and is represented as D_rivet = 6*sqrt(t_plate) or Rivet Diameter = 6*sqrt(Thickness of Plate). The thickness of plate is the state or quality of being thick. The measure of the smallest dimension of a solid figure: a board of two-inch thickness.

How to calculate Diameter of rivet?

The Diameter of rivet(for dimension in mm) formula is defined as a chord that runs through the center point of the rivet is calculated using Rivet Diameter = 6*sqrt(Thickness of Plate). To calculate Diameter of rivet, you need Thickness of Plate (t_plate). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Thickness of Plate and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Rivet Diameter?

In this formula, Rivet Diameter uses Thickness of Plate. We can use 2 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Rivet Diameter = 1.6*sqrt(Thickness of Plate)
Rivet Diameter = Pitch of Rivet*(1-Efficiency of riveted joint)
