Riveting Good Advice
Riveting Good Advice
Dear Editor,
PS has run several good articles on the importance of using the exact
bolt called for in the TMs when making repairs or reassembling equipment. If
you use a low-grade bolt when a high-grade one is needed, you’re flirting
with disaster.
But you’ve never mentioned that the same holds true for rivets. If your TM
calls for a certain
kind
of rivet, that’s what you
must
use. Substituting a
pop rivet for a solid rivet, for example, affects the structural strength of the
equipment being repaired. That, too, could be disastrous, especially in the
case of aircraft.
So always check the TM and
always
use the rivet called for.
