High Strength Rivet

A high strength rivet is a blind rivet designed to carry higher loads than standard rivets. It has a dome head and is set from one side.

A high strength rivet sets into a drilled hole and holds where a stronger joint is needed. It often suits structural and load bearing work. A rivet gun or hand tool sets it from one side.

High strength rivets are often made in stainless steel, which offers good corrosion resistance and strength. Stainless steel suits outdoor and wet environments.

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 check the rivet dimensions and material grade on receipt. A mill test certificate can be requested for the stainless steel wire.
