Hello,

Does anyone know of a general standard from SAE or ASME (etc) that describes the proper installation of rivets? I used to refer to MIL-STD-403, but that has been inactivated by the powers that be, so I can not reference it on drawings (although the data seems useful). Is there a superseding document for this?

Thanks in advance.
