The document provides formulas for determining the diameter of rivets based on thickness and recommends pitch distances for different rivet patterns in lap and butt joints. The diameter of a rivet equals 6 times the square root of the thickness of the material. For lap joints, the recommended pitch between rivets is 4 times the rivet diameter while for butt joints the recommended pitch is 2 times the rivet diameter.
