ARSD 61:08:05:17.03. Strength of rivets in shear
Cite as S.D. Admin. R. 61:08:05:17.03
When computing the ultimate strength of rivets in shear, the following values in pounds per square inch of the cross-sectional area of the rivet shank shall be used:
PSIG
Iron rivets in single shear
38,000
Iron rivets in double shear
76,000
Steel rivets in single shear
44,000
Steel rivets in double shear
88,000
When the diameter of the rivet holes in the longitudinal joints of a boiler is not known, the diameter and cross-sectional area of rivets, after driving, may be selected from Table 1, or may be ascertained by cutting out one rivet in the body of the joint.
