Overview

SIST EN ISO 16582:2003 is an internationally recognized standard that specifies the dimensional and mechanical characteristics for open end blind rivets featuring a break pull mandrel and a protruding head. These rivets have a copper (Cu) body combined with mandrels made of steel (St), bronze (Br), or stainless steel (SSt). The standard covers nominal diameters ranging from 3 mm up to and including 4.8 mm.

Developed by ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 2 on Fasteners in collaboration with CEN/TC 185, this standard ensures compatibility and reliability of blind rivets used in various industrial applications, particularly where consistent fastening performance is critical.

Key Topics

• Rivet Dimensions: Detailed specifications for rivet body and mandrel sizes, including nominal diameter, height, and grip ranges. Dimensions are fully defined to maintain interchangeability and proper assembly.

• Material Composition:

  • Rivet body: Copper (Cu) for corrosion resistance and conductivity.
  • Mandrel options: Steel (St), Bronze (Br), or Stainless Steel (SSt), each offering different mechanical properties and compatibility with various environments.
  • Surface finishes are described to ensure proper corrosion resistance and operational integrity.

• Mechanical Properties:

  • Minimum shear and tensile loads for different rivet diameters.
  • Maximum mandrel break loads.
  • Mandrel push-out resistance exceeding 10 N.
  • Head retention capabilities to prevent ejection after installation.

• Application Guidance:

  • Diameter ranges from 3 to 4.8 mm.
  • Recommended clearance hole sizes for optimal fit.
  • Grip length recommendations for reliable fastening depths.

• Workmanship and Quality:

  • Rivets must be free of burrs and defects, with well-formed heads/shanks.
  • Post-setting inspections at 5× magnification to confirm absence of cracking.
  • Compliance with acceptance testing per ISO 3269 with allowances for manufacturer discretion in some material details.

• Designation System:

  • Facilitates clear identification, e.g., Blind rivet ISO 16582 - 4 ×××× 12 - Cu/St, where "4" is diameter, "12" length, and Cu/St indicates copper body with steel mandrel.

Applications

SIST EN ISO 16582:2003 blind rivets are widely used across industries requiring reliable fastening solutions where access is limited to one side of the assembly. Typical sectors and use cases include:

• Automotive Manufacturing: Joining thin sheets and components where high strength and corrosion resistance are essential.
• Electrical Equipment: Copper body rivets provide excellent conductivity, making these rivets suitable for electrical and electronic assemblies.
• Aerospace and Transportation: Lightweight yet strong rivets that meet stringent mechanical property requirements ensure structural integrity.
• Marine and Offshore: Stainless steel and bronze mandrels improve corrosion resistance in harsh environments.
• General Engineering and Construction: Fastening metal components quickly and securely without the need for welding or threading.

By adhering to the dimensions and mechanical requirements set forth by SIST EN ISO 16582:2003, manufacturers and engineers can guarantee consistent performance and compatibility between riveted joints.

Related Standards

• ISO 14588:2000 - Blind rivets terminology and definitions
• ISO 14589:2000 - Mechanical testing methods for blind rivets
• ISO 3269:2000 - Acceptance inspection for fasteners
• EN ISO 3269 - European adoption of ISO 3269 for fastener acceptance criteria

These complementary standards provide terminology, testing protocols, and quality assurance procedures that support the implementation and compliance of blind rivets according to SIST EN ISO 16582:2003.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Pu
