Hi-Lok vs Hi-Lite

[Fatstress]

Dear All,
I am new here, but I hope somebody can help me explain what are the differences between Hi-Lok and Hi-Lite. What I understand at the moment Hi-Lite is lighter and can be installed with high interference and therefore more preferred especially if you would like to have better fatigue performance of fastener joint design. Regards.

Take a look at the Hi-Shear Internet site. They have standards available for download on both products. You can review their capabilities and suitability to your applications.

Thanks Corry,
Actually I have already visited the sites that you suggested, but I could not find further information regarding why we can do more interference fit with Hi-lite compared to Hi-lok and how much. I would appreciate if you can suggest other sites or papers or publication regarding the advantages of Hi-lite over Hi-lok especially fatigue point of view.
