Full title and description

ISO 1051:1999 — Rivet shank diameters. This International Standard specifies two series of rivet shank diameters for general use (excluding blind rivets) in the range from 1 mm up to and including 36 mm.

Abstract

The standard defines preferred shank diameter series and nominal sizes for rivets used in general engineering and fastening applications. Its purpose is to provide a common set of diameters to simplify manufacturing, procurement and interchangeability of rivets.

General information

• Status: Published — International Standard (confirmed during review cycles; the ISO record indicates the publication was reviewed and confirmed in 2024).
• Publication date: 1999-12 (Edition 1, 1999).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 21.060.40 (Rivets).
• Edition / version: Edition 1 (1999).
• Number of pages: 1 (ISO catalogue record shows a one‑page publication). Note: some national catalogue entries and national adoptions may show different pagination for their published national version or cover pages.

Scope

Specifies two standard series of rivet shank diameters for general-purpose rivets (not including blind rivets) covering nominal diameters from 1 mm up to and including 36 mm. The standard provides the preferred nominal diameters to be used by manufacturers, designers and purchasers to improve interchangeability and simplify inventory.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of two preferred series of rivet shank diameters (nominal sizes) across the 1 mm to 36 mm range.
• Scope excludes blind rivets — applies to general‑use, through rivets and similar non‑threaded fasteners.
• Provides common nominal sizes to harmonize production, specify mating hole sizes and support procurement standardization.
• Intended to be used together with product/fastener standards and technical specifications that define material, head form and mechanical properties.

Typical use and users

Used by fastener and rivet manufacturers, mechanical and structural designers, procurement and supply chain professionals, quality and inspection personnel, and standards committees dealing with fasteners and joining technology. It is referenced where consistent rivet diameter selection and interchangeability are required (production drawings, BOMs and purchasing specifications).

Related standards

ISO 1051:1999 replaces ISO/R 1051:1969 (earlier reference). National adoptions exist (for example BS ISO 1051:1999). Complementary standards cover rivet head forms, materials and mechanical properties — consult ISO/TC 2 and national bodies for related fastener standards and national implementation documents.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 1051:1999 is an International Standard that specifies two series of rivet shank diameters for general‑use rivets (excluding blind rivets), covering nominal diameters from 1 mm to 36 mm.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It lists preferred nominal shank diameters (two series) and establishes common size choices to support manufacturing, design and procurement of rivets; it does not define head forms, materials or mechanical property requirements.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Fastener and rivet manufacturers, mechanical and structural designers, procurement and quality/inspection teams, and standards bodies referencing rivet sizes for drawings and specifications.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The ISO catalogue shows ISO 1051:1999 as published and confirms that the publication was last reviewed and confirmed in 2024; therefore the 1999 edition remains the current valid text as recorded by ISO.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: ISO 1051 is a standalone International Standard addressing rivet diameters; it replaces the earlier ISO/R 1051:1969. Other related ISO and national standards cover rivet materials, head forms and product specifications — check ISO/TC 2 and national standards catalogues for complementary documents.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Rivet, shank diameter, nominal sizes, fasteners, rivet dimensions, interchangeability.
