Overview

EN 2552:1992 is a CEN aerospace series standard that defines the characteristics of solid rivets with a 100° normal countersunk head with dome, manufactured from aluminium alloy 2117, and finished anodized or chromated. The standard covers an inch based series of sizes and specifies rivets suitable for a maximum operating temperature of 120 °C. It is intended for aerospace applications where a flush, corrosion-resistant aluminium fastener is required.

Key Topics

  • Rivet type and geometry
    • Solid rivets with a 100° countersunk head featuring a dome profile (flush fastening).
  • Material
    • Aluminium alloy 2117 as the specified alloy for mechanical and corrosion performance.
  • Surface treatment
    • Anodizing or chromating to improve corrosion resistance and surface compatibility.
  • Units and sizes
    • Inch-based series - imperial sizing intended for aerospace systems using inch measurements.
  • Operating limits
    • Maximum service temperature: 120 °C, defining thermal suitability.
  • Conformity and interchangeability
    • Standardization of dimensions and finishes to ensure compatible manufacturing, procurement, and inspection.

Applications

  • Aerospace structural assemblies requiring flush-mounted fasteners (to minimize aerodynamic drag or maintain flush aerodynamic or interior surfaces).
  • Light alloy airframe components where aluminium-to-aluminium fastening is needed and weight, corrosion resistance, and finish are critical.
  • Restoration, maintenance and overhaul (MRO) of aircraft that use inch-based fasteners or legacy components specified to EN 2552.
  • Use cases where operating temperatures do not exceed 120 °C and anodized or chromated protection is acceptable.

Who Should Use This Standard

  • Aerospace design and structural engineers specifying fasteners for aircraft and spacecraft.
  • Fastener manufacturers producing rivets to aerospace tolerances and finishes.
  • Procurement and quality assurance teams ensuring purchased rivets meet EN 2552 requirements.
  • Maintenance organizations performing repairs or replacements on aircraft with inch-based rivet systems.

Related Standards

  • EN 2552 sits within the broader body of aerospace fastener standards and should be used alongside applicable material and surface-treatment specifications and procurement standards. For comprehensive compliance, consult related aerospace rivet and aluminium-alloy specification documents relevant to your program.
