Blind Rivet (Aluminum/Steel), Comes inch Box (Lobtex)ã€500-1,000 Pieces Per Package】
Pop rivets, also known as blind rivets, are a type of rivet. They are used in applications where there is limited - or no - access to the rear side (blind side) of the parts to be joined.

Actual rivet length is longer that the grip range. If the rivet's grip is too short, it creates a weak joint. If the grip is too long, the cost of the rivet will be unnecessarily high and the rivet may interfere with blind-side clearance.
Tensile Strength (Min.) Aluminum Rivet/Steel Body-- 1/8: 220 lbs.; 5/32: 350 lbs.; 3/16: 500 lbs. Steel Rivet/Steel Body-- 1/8: 310 lbs.; 5/32: 470 lbs.; 3/16: 680 lbs.
A general rule is that the rivet should have a diameter of at least three times the thickness of the thickest sheet that is being joined. According to the military standard, so the bucked counter head diameter of the rivet joint must be larger than 1.4 times the diameter of the shank.
Grip is the thickness of the material being riveted. The grip range is the min & max grip the rivet is intended to be used with. It is very important to note that the maximum grip range is NOT the length of the rivet body. Use the slots to measure the grip range.
The allowance is normally about 1.5D. For example, two pieces of 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) sheet are to be riveted together. The proper diameter rivet would be 3 x 0.050=0.150 inch (3 x 1.27=3.81 mm).
There are many types of rivets: blind rivets, solid rivets, tubular rivets, drive rivets, split rivets, shoulder rivets, tinners rivets, mate rivets, and belt rivets. Each type of rivet has unique benefits, making each ideal for a different type of fastening.
How to Choose Rivets
- Choose a rivet that's made of the same material as the items you are going to fasten.
- Select the correct length for your rivet.
- Compare blind versus solid rivets.
- Evaluate corrosion-resistance.
- Consider the diameter of the rivet.
- Think about the different head designs that are available.
For typical workshop applications, where pop rivets are usually used, threaded fasteners will provide superior strength. Pop rivets use a hollow shaft, reducing their ability to resist shear loads. By contrast, solid rivets are perhaps the strongest mechanical fastener available.
No matter what you do, your rivets will be in plain sight. Last, but not least, generally, riveting is not as strong as welding. If you need the two parts to be capable of withstanding forces that draw the pieces apart, riveted joints will be more likely to fail compared to a properly welded joint.
Aluminium pop rivets are lightweight yet durable and offer excellent corrosion resistance which makes them potentially the strongest and most viable option on the market for many industries.
Shear strength is exactly why stainless rivets are used.
The Aluminum is very weak in comparison. Most hand rivet tools will pull stainless rivets they just won't last long and are harder to squeeze.

Closed-end rivets are a type of tubular rivet with a mandrel through the center and a unique, cup-shaped end configuration that is designed for watertight applications or when stem retention is vital. These rivets can be used in blind or non-blind applications.
There are several proprietary processes for self-piercing riveting, typically using a semi-tubular rivet, although solid rivets are also sometimes used. Blind rivets, for example, are used for car body assembly where access constraints mean that the joint can only be accessed from a single side.
7 Best Uses for Blind Rivets
- Building or Home Applications.
- Attaching Nameplates and Signs.
- Fastening Wall or Ceiling Decorations.
- Attaching Hinges.
- Attaching Door Knobs, Drawer Pulls, and Handles.
- Woodworking Applications.
- Industrial Applications.
All rivets will leak, that are pulled, unless they are sealed underneath the rivet head. When the holes are drilled, even with a 20,000 to 30,000 rpm drill, the holes are never "perfectly round." Close examination of those rivet holes will show that they are ever so slight triangular shaped.
Closed End Pop Rivets are often referred to as sealed blind rivets, or sealing rivets because they create a watertight seal when installed properly, making them a popular item in the boating and automotive industries.
Pop rivets are used in a blind setting like blind rivets, but the material application is a little different. Pop rivets can be used with plastic, metal and wood while offering a longer-lasting setting than traditional blind rivets developed outside of the lab of the George Tucker Eyelet Company.
Considered to be some of the smallest POP rivets, Micro Rivets are 2mm diameter open-end rivets that offer quick assembly for applications with very tiny spaces.
Plastic rivets are used in most things – from computers to panel fasteners in rockets. Push in blind rivets, so called because they can be installed when you can't access the rear panel side – or “blind†side – require a pop rivet installation tool.
Blind rivets and blind riveting pliers are also called pop rivets and pop riveters. They are used to fix together hard materials such as sheet metal and metal objects when you have access to only one side of the material – for example, when you fit mudguards on your car or gutters on your house.
What is the purpose to increase the number of rows of rivets? Explanation: Number of rows of rivets is increased to increase the strength of the joint. If two rows are used, joint is double riveted joint. If three rows are used, joint is triple riveted joint.
Key points. Invented in 1934, pop rivets give users to ability to place a rivet from one side of the material. Hole size, body length, grip range, and head size must be properly measured to determine the proper size for pop rivets. Pop rivets come in many styles, including closed-end, open-end, micro, and multi-grip.
