EN 2555:1992 - Aerospace series - Rivets, solid, 100° normal countersunk head with dome, in aluminium alloy 5056A, inch based series

Overview

EN 2555:1992 is a CEN aerospace series standard that specifies the characteristics of solid rivets manufactured in aluminium alloy 5056A. The standard covers an inch-based series of rivets with a 100° normal countersunk head with dome and sets the limit for maximum operating temperature at 120 °C. This document is intended for manufacturers, procurement teams, and aerospace engineers who require consistent, standardized fasteners for aircraft applications.

Key Topics

  • Rivet type: Solid rivets, inch-based series
  • Head form: 100° normal countersunk head with dome
  • Material: Aluminium alloy 5056A
  • Temperature limit: Maximum operating temperature 120 °C
  • Scope: Aerospace series rivets intended where standardised aluminium fasteners are required

EN 2555 emphasises repeatable characteristics and dimensional definitions that support compatibility between suppliers and assemblies. The focus is on defining a consistent product profile so that rivets specified to EN 2555 can be sourced and applied with predictable fit and performance constraints.

Applications

The standard is primarily applied within aerospace manufacture and maintenance where aluminium alloy rivets are specified. Typical application contexts include:

  • Aircraft structural fastening where countersunk head geometry is required
  • Repair and overhaul operations needing inch-based replacement rivets
  • Procurement and parts specification to ensure interchangeability across suppliers

Using rivets specified to EN 2555:1992 helps ensure that components meet agreed geometric and material characteristics appropriate for operating environments up to 120 °C. This supports quality control, traceability and parts standardisation in aerospace supply chains.

Related Standards

  • Other aerospace rivet standards addressing different head forms, materials or metric series
  • Material standards and specifications for aluminium alloys used in aerospace components
  • National adoptions and identical texts (for example SIST EN 2555:2001) that align this CEN standard with local publication and application

Practical Value

Adopting EN 2555:1992 in procurement and design documents provides clear, standardised requirements for solid aluminium rivets-reducing ambiguity, improving interchangeability, and simplifying supplier qualification. For engineers and supply chain managers, referencing EN 2555 ensures that countersunk rivets in aluminium 5056A meet a recognised aerospace series definition and temperature limitation.
