Universal Rivet Plates Project
Objective: Learn basic universal head riveting skills and rivet layout
Provided Material:
1. 2024-T3 0.032” aluminum sheet
2. MS20470AD3, MS20470AD4 & MS20470AD5 rivets
Instructions:
1. Create rivet layouts for #3, #4, and #5 rivet plates. Layout properties:
a. 4” X 6” plates
b. Edge distance of 3 D
c. Rivet spacing of 4 to 5 D along the short axis
d. The rivet spacing along the short axis should be about 75% the length of the long
axis spacing. (Hints: Start calculations with short axis. Normally, round number
of rivets down. For #5 short axis, round number of rivets up.)
Present a written version of your calculations and layout to an instructor. Have an
instructor approve approach before proceeding with any metal work.
2. Create two rivet plates using each of the above layouts. Insure all edges and holes are
deburred.
3. Rivet the two plates together. There should be a set of plates for #3, #4 & #5 rivets. Rivet
plates must meet the standards outlined in AC43.13-1B.
4. Demonstrate to the instructor the ability to remove and replace damaged rivets
Question: What paragraphs and figures of AC43.13-1B did you use for guidance?
