BS EN 3139 is a European Standard about 100° countersunk passivated solid rivets. BS EN 3139 specifies the characteristics of solid rivets, with 100° countersunk normal head, in corrosion resisting steel FE-PA11, passivated, inch-based series, for a maximum operating temperature of 700 °C.
BS EN 3139 on steel FE-PA11 solid rivets is useful for:
Steel 100° countersunk passivated solid rivets are important in the aerospace industry. The durability, as well as its oxidation prevention properties, are due to the corrosion-resistant steel that passivated solid rivets are made up of. Their passivation properties also prevent corrosion. It also helps in the high performance of the rivets.
On the surface, these solid rivets are highly stable which helps them support the huge load. 100° countersunk passivated solid rivets are not only lightweight but also inexpensive.
BS EN 3138 contributes to the standardization of steel FE-PA11 solid rivets in order to enhance the performance of the rivets, as aircraft applications are crucial and this requires them to have the highest durability and maximum safety. BS EN 3138 helps in informing customers about the best industry practices followed in making these rivets. Furthermore, BS EN 3138 also ensures the maximum safety and efficiency of the product.
