Tubular vs Semi-Tubular Rivets
Tubular vs Semi-Tubular Rivets
(OP)
A coworker and I are trying to find the difference between tubular and semi-tubular rivets. We even looked up ASME B18.7 and the definitions of each do not clarify anything.
Also, is there a list of standard diameters and lengths of rivets?
Finally, is there a good reference book, similar to Bickford's and Nassar's Handbook of Bolts and Bolted Joints, for rivets? I'm looking for specific information, in addition to using standard mechanics of materials calcs, to know how much the rivet could hold in tension (a bending load that may cause the head to pop off or the sheet metal to peel around it) as well as the force needed to swage/crimp rivets.

I don't know a good reference book. Try looking through the products at Textron Fastening Systems:
