Module 6. Materials & hardware

The dimensions of an MS20430AD-4-8 rivets are

  • 1/8 inch in diameter and 1/2 inch long.
  • 4/16 inch in diameter and 8/32 inch long.
  • 1/8 inch in diameter and 1/4 inch long.

Explanation

In the MS20430AD-4-8 code the first dash number is diameter in 1/32 inch, so 4/32 = 1/8 inch, and the second is length in 1/16 inch, so 8/16 = 1/2 inch. The other options misread the length increment as 1/4 inch.

bucks asking:

Why? i know that the diameter must be in thirty-seconds inch division while length is expressed in sixteenths so 4/32 equals 1/8 and 8/16 equals 1/2.. is it wrong?

Hi bucks!

You are correct. I have adjusted that question.
