Semi Tubular rivets are set by deforming the hole formed in the end of the shank of the rivet. This can be done using a hand held punch or in high volume applications, fully automatically using a purpose built riveting machine. The correct specification of the rivet is the key to a successful application. The table below indicates the main dimensions and gives a guide to specifying the length of the rivet.
