Blind rivet nut standard and application introduction
Apr 11,2022
A Blind Rivet Nut is a type of fastener that is used to securely join two or more materials without having access to the reverse side. It is also called a "blind threaded insert." These nuts have a mandrel that is inserted through a hole in the material and then expanded on the reverse side to secure the nut in place. Blind Rivet Nuts are commonly used in a variety of applications, including automotive, aviation, and construction industries. They can be used in thin sheets, tubes, and hollow sections. They are also used in furniture and appliances, and in areas where access to the reverse side is limited. The standard for Blind Rivet Nuts is determined by the international standard ISO 15983:2017 which specifies the general requirements for design, materials, marking, and testing of Blind Rivet Nuts. The standard covers Blind Rivet Nuts with blind-side bearing and countersunk heads, with nominal thread diameters from M3 to M10 and with metric coarse or fine threads. steady-ind.com
