Overview

SIST EN 3140:2002 is a European Standard published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) that specifies the requirements for solid rivets used in aerospace applications. These rivets feature a 100° countersunk normal head and are made from corrosion-resisting steel FE-PA2601, passivated for enhanced durability. The standard covers the inch-based series of these rivets and ensures their suitability for high-temperature environments, with a maximum operating temperature of 750 °C.

This standard is critically important for aerospace manufacturers, suppliers, and quality assurance teams seeking reliable fasteners that meet stringent performance and corrosion resistance criteria. Compliance with SIST EN 3140:2002 guarantees consistent quality and interchangeability in aerospace assembly processes.

Key Topics

• Rivet Type and Head Design
  Specifies solid rivets with a 100° countersunk normal head shape ideal for flush fastening in aerospace structures.

• Material Specification
  Rivets are made from corrosion resisting steel FE-PA2601 (X6NiCrTiMoV26-15), which is passivated to improve its corrosion resistance and fatigue life.

• Operating Temperature Range
  Suitable for applications requiring resistance to temperatures up to 750 °C, meeting the demands of high-heat aerospace environments.

• Dimensions and Tolerances
  Detailed inch-based sizing, physical dimensions, and mass references are provided for standardized rivet production, ensuring compatibility across manufacturers.

• Surface Treatment
  Passivation processes are specified under related aerospace surface treatment standards (EN 2516), critical for corrosion protection.

• Marking and Identification
  Rivets must comply with aerospace marking standards (EN 2424) to facilitate traceability and quality control throughout the supply chain.

• Quality Assurance
  Manufacturing processes and quality systems adhere to EN 2000, ensuring that rivets meet defined aerospace industry specifications.

Applications

• Aerospace Manufacturing
  EN 3140 rivets are extensively used in the assembly of aircraft structures, including fuselage panels, wing assemblies, and other critical components requiring flush riveting and heat resistance.

• High-Temperature Environments
  The corrosion resisting steel composition and passivation treatment make these rivets ideal for aerospace parts exposed to elevated temperatures, such as engine components and exhaust systems.

• Corrosion-Sensitive Structures
  Passivation ensures rivets meet demanding corrosion resistance standards, making them suitable for aerospace applications in harsh environmental conditions, including marine or humid atmospheres.

• Repair and Maintenance
  Because of their standardization and mechanical properties, these rivets facilitate maintenance and repair operations on existing aircraft, ensuring continued compliance with aerospace quality regulations.
