information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities,
in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the
timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

Indian Standard
SPECIFICATION FOR BOILER RIVETS
(12 TO 48 mm DIAMETER )

0. FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institu-
tion on 17 October 1961, after the draft finalized by the Screw Threads
Sectional Committee had been approved by the Engineering Division
Council.

0.2 This standard is one of a series of Indian Standards being prepared

by the Institution on metric screw threads and fasteners. This standard
deals with mild steel rivets intended for use in the construction of boilers.
The question of preparing a similar standard for high tensile rivets for
boiler construction is under consideration.

0.3 At the level of the International Organization for Standardization

( IS0 )> the Technical Committee, ISO/TC 7 Rivets, has at present under
consideration a proposal to unify the metric and inch sizes of rivets by
considerably modifying the tolerance on the shank diameter of rivets.
However, for obvious reasons, international agreement on the subject
is likely to take time to materialize.

0.4 Wherever a reference to any standard appears in this specification, it

shall be taken as a reference to the latest version of the standard.

0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of

this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calcuiated,
expressing the result of a test or analysis, sha!l be rounded off in accord-
ance with IS : 2-1960 Rules for Rounding Off Numerical Values ( Revised ).
The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should
be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

0.6 Metric system has been adopted in India and all dimensions and quan-
tities in this standard have been given in this system.

0.7 This standard is intended chiefly to cover the technical provisions

relat,ing to boiler rivets, and it does not include all the necessary prod
visions of a contract.

_.-A --_ 1
IS : 1928 - 1961

1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard prescribes the requirements for boiler rivets, 12 to

48 mm in diameter.

2. MATERIAL

2.1 The rivets shall be manufactured from material conforming to

IS : 1990-1962 Specification for Steel Rivets and Stay Bars for Boilers.

3. MANUFACTURE

3.1 Rivets may be made either by cold heading or by hot forging. If

rivets are made by the cold-heading process they shall subsequently be
adequately heat-treated so that the stresses set up in the cold-heading
process are eliminated. If they are made by hot-forging process, care
shall be taken to see that the finished rivets cool gradually.

4.. FREEDOM FROM DEFECTS

4.1 The rivets shall be cleanly finished with heads concentric with the
shanks. They shall be free from imperfections and heavy scales. The
ends of rivets shall be square, cleanly sheared and free from rag or burr.

5. DIMENSIONS
5.1 LengtliDiametor Combinations - The preferred Iength and
diameter combinations of rivets shall be as given in Table I.
5.2 Diameters of Rivets and Rivet Holes-The diameters of rivets
and corresponding rivet holes shall be as specified in Table II.
5.3 Dimensions of Rivet Heads - The heads of rivets shall conform
to the proportions, in terms of the nominal diameter, shown in Fig. 1 to 11
(see P 8and9).

6. TOLERANCES
6.1 Shank Diameter
6.1.1 .hfominaLDiameters (0) 12 lo 24 mm
6.1.X.1 For rivets, five diameters long and under, the fo!lowing toler-
ances shall apply ( see Fig. 10 ):
a) At position X +@3 mm
-@I mm
b) At positron Z- +o*o mm
-@5 mm

Indian Standards Institution ( Certification Marks ) Act and the Rules and Regulations
made thereunder. The ISI Mark on products covered by an Indian Standard
conveys the assurance that they have been produced to comply with the requvements
of that standard under a welldefined system of inspection, testing and quality control
which is devised and supervised by ISI and operated by the producer. IS1 marked
products arc also ,continuously checked by ISI for conformity fo that standard as a
further safeguard. Details of conditions under which a hcence for the use of the.ISI
Certification Mark may be granted to manufacturers or processors, may be obtamed
from the Indian Standards Institution.

10.1Preservation - Unless the purchaser has specified specific treatment

at the time’ of enquiry or at the time of placing the order, the rivet shall be
supplied in a well-cleaned condition and suitably protected against rust in
a manner which is left to the discretion of the manufacturer.
10.2 Packing- The rivets shall be packed in accordance with the
best trade practice.
