Description / Abstract:
This specification2 covers steel rivets for use in
boilers and pressure vessels and steel bars for use in the
manufacture of rivets.
Two grades are covered:
Grade A-Bars having a yield point of 23 000
psi (160 MPa) minimum with carbon 0.18% maximum.
Grade B-Bars having a yield point of 29 000
psi (200 MPa) minimum with carbon 0.28 % maximum.
Rivets are manufactured from the applicable bar grade.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as
standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical
conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and
are not considered standard.
