FOREWORD
ASME Standards Committee B18, Subcommittee 7, has met periodically since 1979 to arrive
at a metric standard to serve as a companion to ANSI B18.7. This Standard covers only oval head
semi-tubular rivets with straight holes. The Committee has declared its intent to expand the
scope of the standard to include other head styles, tapered holes, full tubular rivets, and rivet
caps as their use in metric dimensions become apparent. These other styles of rivets, although
not included here, are available from manufacturers, and the dimensions in this Standard should
be the basis for further development.
Because semi-tubular rivets are used in automatic assembly machines, the concentricity of the
outside edge of the head to the rivet shank is an important functional attribute. On a low oval
head rivet, the axis of the head is very difficult to find, and therefore the true head position
method of measuring concentricity was not used in this Standard.
The previous edition was approved by the ballot of the B18 Main Committee on June 24, 1983.
Following acceptance by ASME, this proposal was referred to the American National Standards
Institute for designation as an American National Standard. This was granted on July 24, 1984
and last reaffirmed without change in 2005.
This edition was balloted and approved by the B18 Standards Committee and B18
Subcommittee 7 on December 28, 2006. The proposal was submitted to the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) and designated as an American National Standard on March 7, 2007.

CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE B18 COMMITTEE
General. ASME Standards are developed and maintained with the intent to represent the
consensus of concerned interests. As such, users of this Standard may interact with the Committee
by requesting interpretations, proposing revisions, and attending Committee meetings. Corre-
spondence should be addressed to:
Secretary, B18 Standards Committee
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Three Park Avenue
New York, NY 10016-5990
--```,,,`,,`,,,,,,,,`,`````,,,,`-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
Proposing Revisions. Revisions are made periodically to the Standard to incorporate changes
that appear necessary or desirable, as demonstrated by the experience gained from the application
of the Standard. Approved revisions will be published periodically.
The Committee welcomes proposals for revisions to this Standard. Such proposals should be
as specific as possible, citing the paragraph number(s), the proposed wording, and a detailed
description of the reasons for the proposal, including any pertinent documentation.
Proposing a Case. Cases may be issued for the purpose of providing alternative rules when
justified, to permit early implementation of an approved revision when the need is urgent, or to
provide rules not covered by existing provisions. Cases are effective immediately upon ASME
approval and shall be posted on the ASME Committee Web page.
Requests for Cases shall provide a Statement of Need and Background Information. The request
should identify the standard, the paragraph, figure or table number(s), and be written as a
Question and Reply in the same format as existing Cases. Requests for Cases should also indicate
the applicable edition(s) of the standard to which the proposed Case applies.
Interpretations. Upon request, the B18 Standards Committee will render an interpretation of
any requirement of the Standard. Interpretations can only be rendered in response to a written
request sent to the Secretary of the B18 Standards Committee.
The request for an interpretation should be clear and unambiguous. It is further recommended
that the inquirer submit his/her request in the following format:
Subject: Cite the applicable paragraph number(s) and the topic of the inquiry.
Edition: Cite the applicable edition of the Standard for which the interpretation is
being requested.
Question: Phrase the question as a request for an interpretation of a specific requirement
suitable for general understanding and use, not as a request for an approval
of a proprietary design or situation. The inquirer may also include any plans
or drawings, which are necessary to explain the question; however, they
should not contain proprietary names or information.
Requests that are not in this format may be rewritten in the appropriate format by the Committee
prior to being answered, which may inadvertently change the intent of the original request.
ASME procedures provide for reconsideration of any interpretation when or if additional
information that might affect an interpretation is available. Further, persons aggrieved by an
interpretation may appeal to the cognizant ASME Committee or Subcommittee. ASME does not
“approve,” “certify,” “rate,” or “endorse” any item, construction, proprietary device, or activity.
Attending Committee Meetings. The B18 Standards Committee regularly holds meetings, which
are open to the public. Persons wishing to attend any meeting should contact the Secretary of
the B18 Standards Committee.
