| SEALNT® rivets are the logical
solution to replace traditional blind rivets where a completely
sealed and pressure-tight joint is necessary.
The SEALNT® rivets consist
of a tubular rivet with a sealed end containing a steel
mandrel. Its riveting sequence is similar to that of standard
open rivet, but the sealed type has an additional setting,
the rivet is stressed beyond its elastic limit.
This ensures that in addition to the normal
clenching action, the rivet expands radially in setting.
This combined with the sealed end of the rivet, ensures
a joint which is both air and water-tight. As its high
rate of radial expansion in setting completely fills the
hole, it has a high proof-shear strength which also makes
it particularly suitable for joints subject to vibratory
conditions.
SEALNT® rivets provide maximum
clamping action over a full range of material thickness,
using the same rivet length, eliminating errors produced
by unskilled labor.
