I was trying to compare strength of (pull style rivet) Cherry Max Q rivets BS Series 5/32 Grade 19 to AN 470-5-2 2117T . the Q rivets have a Shear 525 lbs and Tension 450 lbs. 470 rivets at 30,000 PSI in Shear and 100,000 PSI in Tension. (these #'s I found in the Aircraft Spruce catalog.). Wanted to know the formula to compare PSI to LBS.
Had to remove AN470-4- rivets and the hole was slightly larger so I went to the Q rivets 5/32. I looked in the 43.13 book and did not find a comparison chart between the two types of rivets. Now that the plane is built I could not get into that space with the gun and bar. I am not saying it did not exist in the 43.13 book, I just had enough reading for one night!
It would nice to have a replacement/comparison chart solid to Pull styles.
Thanks Guys,
