ISO 14589:2000

Blind rivets -- Mechanical testing

This International Standard specifies the methods of mechanical testing of blind rivets including: shear test (see clause 3), tensile test (see clause 3), mandrel head retention capability test (see clause 4), mandrel push out resistance test (prior to setting) (see clause 5), and mandrel break load test (see clause 6), at an ambient temperature of 10 C to 35 C. It applies to blind rivets with nominal diameters up to and including 6,4 mm.
