Chobert Rivet

A Chobert rivet is a blind fastener that is set by pulling a mandrel through the rivet body. It leaves a flush or dome finish on the blind side. It often comes in brass or steel.

A Chobert rivet joins parts in a hole that is accessible from one side only. It is set with a special tool that pulls the stem into the rivet body. It often matches the hole size and the grip range of the parts.

This rivet is often made in brass or steel. Brass gives good corrosion resistance and a non-magnetic property. Steel gives higher strength for structural joints.

This is a general guide to checking this kind of part. It says nothing about any supplier's parts.

Ask for a certificate of conformance and a material certificate for the alloy. On receipt, check the rivet body and mandrel for damage. Confirm the rivet sets fully and the mandrel breaks at the correct point.
