This standard specifies the material, dimensions, tolerances, and mechanical property requirements for steel rivets with nominal diameters from 12 mm to 36 mm. It is intended for hot-driven rivets used in structural steel fabrication, such as in bridges, buildings, and cranes.
Specifies requirements for structural rivets of 12 to 36 mm diameter for structural purposes.

Practical Notes
This technology is largely obsolete in new construction, having been replaced by high-strength bolting (HSFG) and welding.
This code is crucial for the assessment, analysis, and repair of older, heritage steel structures that were built using riveting.
The standard covers hot-forged rivets; properties and installation procedures for cold-driven rivets are different.
