ANSI/ASME 818.12 is a standard developed through the procedures of The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, B18.1.2 is under the jurisdiction of ASME Standards Committee B18 and is the direct responsibility of its Subcommittee 1. 2. The latest edition of B18.1.2 was published in 1972. Since that time the star dard has been reaffirmed, without technical change, in 1977 and again in 1983. 3. In the presentation of B18.1.2 in this book, a few editorial changes have been made to improve clarity and reader convenience, None of these editori ‘modifications affects technical content. 4. ANSUASME B18.2.1 — 1972 is reprinted with the permission of its publisher, The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, United Engineering Center, 345 E. 47th Street, New York, N.Y. 10017 US.A, 1. Introductory Notes. 14 Scope. 144 This standard covers complete general and dimensional data for those types of large solid rivets recognized as "American National Standard” together with dimensional data ap- plicable to manufactured heads after driving, driven heads, and hold-on (dolly bar) and rivet set impressions. Also included are appendixes ‘covering formulas on which dimensional data are based. It should be understood, however, that where questions arise concerning accep. tance of product, the dimensions in the table shall govern over recalculation by formula 414.2 The inclusion of dimensional data in this standard is not intended to Imply that all of the products described are stock production sizes. Consumers should consult with manufacturers concerning the availability of products. 12 Rivets. 1.21 Head Types. The head types covered by this standard are designated, respectively, as button head, high button head (acorn), cone head, flat countersunk head, oval countersunk head and pan head. All other head types for large solid rivets shall be considered special. 122 Shank Diamatars, The diamstere of rivet shanks as given for the respective types of rivets in the tabies shall be standard. This, how- ever, does not preclude the manufacture or use of rivets having other diameters required for special applications, 4.23 Head Proportions. Tho dimensions for heads of rivets specified in the respective tables shall be standard. Other head propor- tions shall be considered special. Where non-standard diameter rivets are required for special applications, the proportions of heads shall preferably be based on the formulations given in the appendixes, 1.24 Swell Necks. Large rivets are normally fur: nished with straight shanks up to the head, When specified, however, the swell neck in- cluded in Table 7 of this standard is applicable to all standard large rivets except the flat coun. tersunk head and oval countersunk head, 1.3 Manufactured Heads After Driving, Driven Heads, and Hold-on (Dolly Bar) and Rivet Set Impressions. Dimensions of manufactured heads after driv- ing for button head, high button head, cone head and pan head types of rivets and for hold: on (dolly bar) impressions are included in this standard for design reference purposes. These dimensions apply also to driven heads of rivets as formed from the end and to the correspond ing rivet set impressions. See Figure 1 for ex. planation of terms, 1.4 Dimensions.
