Overview
EN 2144:1994 is a CEN aerospace standard that specifies the characteristics of solid rivets, universal head, inch based series, manufactured from aluminium alloy 2117. The standard is intended for aerospace applications where a maximum operating temperature of 120°C applies. It appears in national adoption as SIST EN 2144:2001 in Slovenia.
This standard defines the essential attributes needed to ensure rivet interchangeability, performance and suitability for aircraft manufacturing and maintenance when using aluminium alloy 2117 rivets in inch-based sizes.
Key Topics
The standard covers several core technical topics and requirements, including:
- Material designation: use of aluminium alloy 2117 for solid rivets intended for aerospace use.
- Head form: specification of the universal (round flattened) head geometry and related profiles.
- Dimensional series: inch based sizing and the relevant diameter/length series for manufacturing and selection.
- Operating temperature: suitability and limitation for applications up to 120°C maximum service temperature.
- Characteristics and tolerances: requirements for dimensional tolerances, fit, and basic form to ensure interchangeability.
- Quality and conformity: general requirements for inspection, acceptance criteria and traceability for aerospace use (manufacturers and procurement must follow inspection practices).
Note: EN 2144 sets characteristic requirements but does not include proprietary manufacturing procedures; it is a specification reference for design, procurement and quality control.
Applications
EN 2144 is directly relevant to industries and roles that design, produce, inspect or procure aerospace structural fastenings:
- Aircraft structural design engineers specifying fasteners for fuselage, wing and secondary structures where aluminium rivets are acceptable.
- Manufacturing and assembly shops using solid universal head rivets in inch sizes for airframe production.
- Maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) organizations replacing or inspecting rivets in service environments not exceeding 120°C.
- Procurement and quality assurance teams requiring a standardized reference for supplier selection, acceptance testing and documentation.
Typical uses include fastening thin sheets and panels in airframes, interior assemblies, and secondary structure components where aluminium alloy rivets are preferred for weight and corrosion performance.
Related Standards
Related references often consulted alongside EN 2144 include other aerospace fastener standards and material specifications (EN/ISO/AMS series) covering:
- Fastener dimensional standards and tolerances
- Aluminium material specifications and heat-treatment guidance
- Aerospace inspection and acceptance practices
For procurement or engineering work, pair EN 2144 with applicable material and inspection standards to ensure full compliance for aerospace applications.
