AIA NAS1740

This specification is intended to establish and control the quality of blind rivets for use in structural applications.

This specification establishes the requirements for procurement of self-plugging blind rivets, with a mechanically locked spindle, which can be installed in assemblies or construction where access to only one side is available. These rivets are intended for use in aircraft structural or similar applications in both thick and thin sheets. The bulbed blind head configuration makes these rivets especially suited for thin sheet or double dimple applications.
