51-47-00 FASTENER PITCH AND EDGE DISTANCE DATA

1. General
A. This topic supplies fastener pitch and edge distance data for the installation of fasteners in metallic,
composite and GLARE structure.

NOTE: The data given in the tables are applicable only to new holes.

NOTE: Where existing holes are re-used, the hole has to be checked for damage. If the hole is damaged
or outside the tolerances for the original fastener nominal diameter (Refer to Chapter 51-44-00),
an oversize fastener must be installed (Refer to Chapter 51-43-00). It is permitted to enlarge the
hole diameter up to a maximum of 2nd oversize 0.8mm (1/32in.)

NOTE: Before you begin the repair, check the edge distances and hole pitches. They must be within toler-
ances given in this chapter for the nominal diameters. If they are not, contact AIRBUS.

NOTE: Before you begin the repair, check that holes have not been previously oversized to its maximum
2nd oversize. If they are, contact AIRBUS.

NOTE: For new holes in assemblies with different materials, respect the edge distance values given in the
section corresponding to each material.

NOTE: For new holes in assemblies with different materials, consider hole pitch values which are suitable
for both materials. That means: - For metal/composite assemblies, consider the hole pitch val-
ues of composite. - For metal/GLARE assemblies, consider the hole pitch values of GLARE. - For
composite/GLARE assemblies, the hole pitch values are the same. - For metal/metal assemblies
with different alloys, the hole pitch values are 4 to 5 'D'.

NOTE: If you do a temporary repair, use the diameter of the fastener that you will use in the permanent re-
pair to calculate the minimum fastener pitch and edge distance.

(1). The content of this topic is as follows:

- for the definition of fastener pitch and edge distance characteristics, refer to Paragraph 1.B,
- for the fastener pitch and edge distance data applicable to metallic structure, refer to Paragraph 2,
- for the fastener pitch and edge distance data applicable to composite structure, refer to Paragraph
3,
- for the fastener pitch and edge distance data applicable to GLARE structure, refer to Paragraph 4.
B. Definition of fastener pitch and edge distance data characteristics.
(1). Definition of hole pitch.
(a) For information about the definition of hole pitch refer to Figure 001.
(b) The hole pitch is denoted by 'P'.
1 The hole pitch 'P' is the distance from the center of one fastener hole to the center of the next
fastener hole.
(c) The diameter of the holes is denoted by 'D'.
1 In case of two different hole diameters, consider the average of the two diameters. For
example: D average = (D1+D2)/2=(4.8mm + 4.0mm)/2=4.4mm. P = 4 x D average = 4 x
4.4mm = 17.6mm
(d) For the general rules of hole pitch, refer to the Notes in Figure 001.
(e) For specific and/or additional rules of hole pitch, refer to Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4.
(2). Definition of edge distance.

51-47-00 FASTENER PITCH AND EDGE DISTANCE DATA

(a) For information about the definition of edge distance, refer to Figure 002.
(b) The following abbreviations/terms are used in this topic: - 'E' is the edge distance for protruding
head fasteners - 'E1' is the distance for countersunk fasteners. The edge distance 'E' or 'E1' is the
distance from the center of the hole to the nearest edge of the component. - 'R' is the radius of
the bend of a sheet. - 'R1' is the radius of the doublers corner. - 'D' is the diameter of the holes.
- 'T' is the thickness of the sheet. - 'B' is the distance from the center of the hole to the beginning
of the radius (the minimum distance from re quired not to damage the radius 'R' (by the fastener
head, driven head, collar or nut).
(c) For further information about the edge distance for the installation of fasteners on chamfered
external doublers, refer to Figure 003.
(d) For further information about the edge distance for milled step, refer to Figure 004.

1 The hole pitch values of rivets installed in aluminum alloy assemblies are quoted in terms of
the fastener nominal shank diameter 'D'.
2 The recommended hole pitch values are: - Pressure tight joint: 4 to 5D - Non pressure tight
joint: 4 to 6D.
3 For the installation of rivets in a chamfered external doubler, refer to Figure 003.
4 The edge distance values for rivets installed in aluminum alloy assemblies are quoted in
terms of fastener nominal shank diameter 'D'.
5 The recommended edge distance values are equal to: - minimum 2.0 x 'D' for aluminum
rivets installed in alumi-num alloy assemblies (skin, sheet metal details, members, shear
webs, etc.) with a thickness of 1.2 mm (0.047 in.) or thicker, - minimum 2.5 x 'D' for aluminum
rivets installed in alumi-num alloy assemblies (skin, sheet metal details, members, shear
webs, etc.) with a thickness thinner than of 1.2 mm (0.047 in.).
6 For the recommended edge distance values for monel and titanium rivets installed in
aluminum alloy assemblies, refer to Table 001.

Table 011 - Pitch Values for the Installation of Bolts, Pins and Rivets in GLARE Assemblies
B. Bolts, pins and rivets edge distances for GLARE assemblies.
(1). The edge distance is the same for the installation of rivets as for the installation of pins and bolts in
GLARE assemblies.
(2). For the definition of pitch, refer to Paragraph 1.B.(1).
(3). The edge distances are quoted in terms of the fastener nominal shank diameter 'D'.
(4). Unless otherwise specified by specific repair documents, the recommended minimum edge distance is
2.5 'D'. For example refer to Table 012.
