(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Shear Testing of Aluminum and Aluminum-Alloy Rivets and Cold-Heading Wire and Rods
Standard Test Method for Shear Testing of Aluminum and Aluminum-Alloy Rivets and Cold-Heading Wire and Rods
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the double shear testing of aluminum and aluminum alloy rivets with round, solid shanks and cold-heading wire and rod.
Note 1--Exceptions to this test method may be necessary in individual specifications or methods for tests for a particular material.
Note 2--The values stated in inch-pound units are the standard. The SI values in parentheses are for information only.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Note—The tolerance applicable to the diameter of the specimen being shear tested must be recognized in drilling the hole in the jig. It is recommended that the
drilled hole size be equal to 1.02 d plus 0.005 in. (0.12 mm) less the minus tolerance applicable to the specimen.
