BS Thermal supply a wide range of stainless steel rivets, the standard dome head blind
rivet has a stainless steel body with a steel mandrel (stem), as an alternative they can be
supplied all in stainless steel or for specific applications in Monel. These rivets are
sometimes referred to as a “pop” rivet. Products are sourced around the world from
suppliers who meet the Group's stringent quality requirements. Detailed analysis is
carried out of these suppliers to ensure quality is maintained.
The materials to be riveted only have to be reached from one side, which explains the
term “Blind” riveting. The rivet is made of two parts namely, the body (shell) and the
mandrel (stem). The body is deformed when the rivet is set and it is this part, which
clamps and holds the materials together securely.
