SIST EN 2553:2001 is a SIST aerospace product standard for solid rivets with a 100° normal countersunk head with dome, made in aluminium alloy 2017A and given in an inch-based series. It specifies the characteristics of these rivets for aerospace use and for a maximum operating temperature of 120 °C. Engineers, buyers and quality staff use it to identify the correct rivet family and to check that supplied parts match the stated product type.

What does SIST EN 2553:2001 specify?

SIST EN 2553:2001 specifies the characteristics of solid rivets for the aerospace series. The scope covers rivets with a 100° normal countersunk head with dome, in aluminium alloy 2017A, in an inch-based series, for a maximum operating temperature of 120 °C.

The standard is identified as identical to EN 2553:1992. In the published identification data, it is classified under aluminium and rivets.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 2553:2001?

SIST EN 2553:2001 is a product specification, so its main purpose is to fix the rivet family and the conditions under which it applies. For a buyer or inspector, the important point is that the designation is precise enough to avoid mixing this rivet with a different head form, material, or size series.

• Solid rivets - The standard applies to solid rivets, so it is aimed at one-piece fasteners rather than other rivet constructions. This matters when selecting parts for assembly and inspection.
• 100° normal countersunk head with dome - The head form is part of the designation. In practice, this is the feature you use to confirm that the rivet matches the required hole and surface geometry.
• Aluminium alloy 2017A - The material is fixed in the title and scope. This matters for procurement, traceability, and compatibility with the surrounding structure.
• Inch based series - The standard uses an inch-based series. That is important when ordering, measuring, and avoiding confusion with metric fasteners.
• Maximum operating temperature 120 °C - The scope sets a temperature limit. In practice, the rivet is selected for assemblies that will operate at or below this condition.
• Aerospace series - The standard is part of the aerospace series. That tells users it is intended for aerospace applications where part identity and interchangeability are tightly controlled.

What terms does SIST EN 2553:2001 define?

The document’s key terms are the product and material names used in the title and scope.

• solid rivets - The fastener family covered by the standard.
• 100° normal countersunk head with dome - The head form named by the standard.
• aluminium alloy 2017A - The material designation stated for the rivets.
• inch based series - The inch-series sizing system used for this standard.
• maximum operating temperature 120 °C - The upper temperature condition given in the scope.
• aerospace series - The application family named in the title.

Who uses SIST EN 2553:2001?

SIST EN 2553:2001 is used by aerospace designers, procurement teams, quality managers, and incoming inspection staff. It helps them specify the correct rivet type, check supplier conformity, and communicate a common fastener designation across engineering, purchasing, and inspection.

Suppliers of aerospace rivets also use it when identifying their product range and preparing parts for delivery against a customer specification.

What changed in SIST EN 2553:2001 from the previous edition?

SIST EN 2553:2001 is identical to EN 2553:1992.

What does the SIST EN 2553:2001 document contain?

The document contains the standard identification, multilingual titles, and classification data for aluminium and rivets. It also records the equivalence to EN 2553:1992 and the publication details used by SIST.

For practical use, the document serves as a reference for selecting and verifying the correct aerospace rivet family. It is a product standard focused on the rivet designation and its stated application limits, not a process guide.
