Overview

EN 2143:1992 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies the characteristics for solid rivets used in aerospace applications. The standard covers universal head rivets made from aluminium alloy 1050A, designed in an inch based series. These rivets are engineered to operate reliably at maximum temperatures up to 120 °C. As part of the aerospace series, EN 2143 defines key requirements ensuring consistency, durability, and compatibility with aerospace manufacturing and maintenance processes.

Key Topics

  • Material Specification: Aluminium 1050A, chosen for its lightweight, corrosion resistance, and adequate mechanical properties suitable for aerospace components.
  • Rivet Type: Solid rivets with a universal head, offering a standardized shape used extensively in riveting aircraft structures.
  • Dimensional Standards: Inch based sizing series which aligns with common aerospace manufacturing measurements, facilitating interchangeability and precision.
  • Operating Temperature: Designed to perform efficiently up to 120 °C, ensuring rivet integrity in typical aerospace environments.
  • Quality and Compliance: Adheres to rigorous European norms, which focus on safety, reliability, and structural performance in aerospace settings.

Applications

EN 2143 rivets find practical use in aerospace manufacturing and repair industries, where durable and reliable fastening solutions are essential. Typical applications include:

  • Assembly of aircraft fuselage panels, wings, and control surfaces that require strong, weight-efficient fastening.
  • Maintenance and overhaul operations where standardized rivet replacement is critical for structural integrity.
  • Spacecraft component fabrication, benefiting from aluminium's lightweight and thermal stability characteristics.
  • Industrial manufacturing for specialized light alloy structures requiring standardized rivet solutions conforming to aerospace protocols.

By specifying exact material and dimensional requirements, EN 2143 ensures rivet performance aligns with the mechanical stresses and environmental conditions experienced in aerospace contexts.

Related Standards

Professionals implementing EN 2143:1992 often reference related standards for comprehensive aerospace fastener solutions:

  • EN 2406 - Aerospace series solid rivets made from other aluminium alloys.
  • EN 20898 - Mechanical properties of fasteners for aerospace applications.
  • ISO 9001 - Quality management systems for aerospace component manufacturing.
  • CEN/TS 45002 - Technical specifications related to aerospace materials testing.

These related standards provide further guidance on material choices, testing protocols, and quality assurance essential for aerospace fasteners used alongside EN 2143 compliant rivets.

By adhering to EN 2143:1992, aerospace manufacturers and maintenance organizations ensure the use of high-quality, standardized aluminium solid rivets tailored for critical structures, thereby enhancing safety, reliability, and interoperability in aerospace engineering projects.
