Overview
ISO 15979:2002 defines the dimensional and mechanical characteristics, as well as application data, for open end blind rivets with break pull mandrel and protruding head made from steel (St/St). Covering rivets with nominal diameters from 2.4 mm up to and including 6.4 mm, this standard specifies requirements for use in various industrial assembly and fastening applications. By implementing ISO 15979:2002, manufacturers and users ensure consistency, safety, and interchangeability of steel blind rivets in both national and international markets.
Key Topics
Applications
ISO 15979:2002-compliant open end blind rivets are widely used in industries requiring strong and reliable fasteners for joining components where access is limited to one side. Typical applications include:
The standardized design ensures interchangeability, simplifies procurement, and supports consistent assembly processes across different manufacturers and regions. The use of ISO 15979:2002 rivets reduces risks of incorrect installation and maintains the integrity of critical joints under demanding conditions.
Related Standards
ISO 15979:2002 references and complements several other international standards in the field of mechanical fasteners and coatings:
- ISO 3269: Fasteners - Acceptance inspection
- ISO 4042: Fasteners - Electroplated coatings
- ISO 4520: Chromate conversion coatings of electroplated zinc and cadmium coatings
- ISO 14588: Blind rivets - Terminology and definitions
