SECTION II. GENERAL STRUCTURAL REPAIRS
2-4. RIVETS. Refer to TM 1-1500-204-23 Series for
riveting procedures and identification. Additional
information on rivets, including alloy selection, row
distance, and pitch, as may be necessary to accomplish
repairs is shown. Acceptable rivet inspection criteria is
as follows:
a.
The head of a flush rivet should be flush with
the surface with no significant deviation above or below
this level. The rivet should be centered in the
countersink to provide continuous contact around the
head of the rivet.
b.
The head of a protruding head rivet should
provide continuous contact with the surface; that is,
there should be no significant head tit relative to the
surface.
c.
The tails of both of the above rivets should
provide continuous circumferential contact between the
tail and the local surface.
d.
There should be no damage to the rivet or local
surface such as that resulting from bucking bar slippage.
e.
A truly loose rivet will be moveable by hand and
should be replaced.
2-5. SUBSTITUTE AN BOLTS FOR AN RIVETS .
Substitute AN bolts for AN rivets as follows:
a.
When rivets left out on assembly cannot be
installed.
b.
Where edge distance is less than 1 1/2 times
diameter of rivet.
NOTE
Minimum edge distance of two times
diameter of rivet is preferred.
c.
