4.4.2. Eccentricity of Head
4.4.2.1. Eccentricity of heads shall be determined by observing the total variation of a dial
indicator testing the periphery of the head (both flush and protruding styles) as the
blind rivet is rotated with its shank as an axis. (See Table IV).
4.4.3. Shear strength - Blind rivets shall be tested at the maximum grip of the particular blind rivet
under test. The actual tests of the specimens shall be in accordance with the methods specified
in NASM1312-20 or equivalent. Test fixture holes shall be in accordance with Table XIII. The
tests need not be carried to destruction if the test specimens meet the rated strengths specified
in Table VI without failure. Failure is defined as the highest load obtained during the test. Load
deflection curves are not required.
4.4.4. Tensile strength - Tensile strength of blind riveted specimens shall be tested, in the rivet’s
maximum grip condition, in a fixture as shown in Figure 2. Blind rivet grip lengths that will not
accommodate the minimum sheet thickness specified in the Figure 2 table need not be tested.
Failure is defined as the highest load obtained during the test.
4.4.5. Thin sheet pull-thru - The resistance to pull-thru of the blind side head shall be determined using
the specimen shown in Figure 3. Test method procedure shall be per NASM1312-8. Tests shall
be conducted such that the blind head bears against the thin sheet. Blind rivets shall meet the
appropriate requirement in pounds of Table VIII. Hole sizes per Table XIII. Fasteners to be
tested in minimum grip only.
4.4.6. Installation - The blind rivet shall be installed in sheet specimens equivalent to minimum grip and
maximum grip for the particular blind rivet under test in accordance with Figure 6. The blind
rivets shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Superficial surface
cracking in the rivet blind head as the result of installation is not cause for rejection. Splits,
failure to expand, improper locking element position or stem position as the result of driving are
considered defective. Superficial surface cracks are those cracks whose length is less than one
third of the height of the blind head after upset.

4.4.7. Spindle retention - A full sample of the rivet test specimens shall be tested in a minimum
specified grip thickness (except that rivets with minimum grip thickness). The installed
specimens shall be completely and properly locked. An additional full sample shall be in the
uninstalled condition.
In determining the spindle retention loads, a test device similar to that shown in Figure 4 shall be
used. The load shall be applied at maximum rate of .05 inch per minute to the spindle from the
manufactured head or the rivet. The loads required to push out the spindles of the installed
rivets shall be equal to or greater than those in Table IX. Also, the loads required to push out the
spindles of the uninstalled rivets shall be equal to or greater than those in Table X. A means for
accurately determining the force applied to the rivet spindle shall be provided. The push out load
shall be applied directly in line with the axis of the rivet spindle.
4.4.8. Sheet take-up - The sheet material and hole sizes shall be as shown in Figure 5. One test shall
be made and the rivet shall remove the entire gap. Gap removal shall be measured with the use
of a 0.0015" thick gage. The gage shall not be able to penetrate the faying surface to touch the
rivet shank. The force resisting the closing of the gap and the gap to be closed shall not be less
than the value shown in Table XI.
4.4.9. Suitability of lubricant coatings - Lubricant coated and unlubricated "scratch specimens" made of
the same materials as the finished rivet sleeves and having the same protective or other surface
finish (if any) shall be scratched through to the basic metal. Specimens may be of any
convenient size and shape, but the total surface area of each should exceed 6 square inches.
These specimens shall be subjected to a 96-hour salt spray test in accordance with Method 811
of the Federal Test Method Standard #151. After exposure, no significant increase in corrosion
shall be found when a comparison is made between lubricated and unlubricated panels.
4.4.10. Shank Expansion (Qualification Only). The test rivet shall be installed in 7075-T6 (UNS A90705)
coupon and steel split plate fixture in total grips equal to the nominal diameter of the rivet being
tested. Headside coupon thickness and hole size, and split plate thickness and hole size shall
be as shown in Figure 7. Insert the rivet into the headside coupon. The shank diameter shall be
measured at the faying surface and recorded, Install the rivet as previously described. After
installation, the plates shall be separated from one another and from the rivet leaving the rivet
and headside coupon together. The shank diameter of the installed rivet shall be measured at
the faying surface of the split plate and the solid head side aluminum coupon.
The difference between the two recorded measurements shall be a minimum of .002 inch.
4.4.11. Fatigue Strength (Qualification Only). Fatigue strength shall be determined by the full load
transfer method per NASM1312-21. Minimum load shall be 10% of maximum load as indicated
in Table XII. Minimum life requirement at the loads listed in Table XII shall be 3X106 cycles. If
no failure after 3X106 cycles, test may be discontinued.

Note: The -2 & -3 grip parts may not consistently close the gap in the minimum grip condition because of
hole filling. The -4 grip and longer are expected to close the gap regardless of whether they are
installed in minimum or maximum grip condition. Acceptance testing is performed in maximum grip
only.

3) X dimension +.125 shall be equivalent to maximum and minimum grip of test rivet.
4) Fastener hole in specimen shall not be deburred by chamfering.
5) Fastener holes per Table XIII.
6) During calibration, use a .0015" thick feeler gage at hole. The load
required to bring the sheets into contact with the feeler gage is defined as the force resisting
closure of the gap. Calibrate with un-installed rivet in plate and apply load between the rivet
and 1/2” diameter blind side spacer.
7) Force shall not be measured after the sheets are closed.
8) Alternate fixture geometries are permitted if it is demonstrated that comparable results are
achieved.
