(a)  Data supplied by Huck International Inc.
(b)  Bold values above the double  line in each column are knife-edge conditions. ( The use of fasteners in knife-edge condition is undesirable. )    
(c)  Rivet shear strength is documented in BPS-R-178.
(d)  Permanent set at yields: 4% of nominal hole diameter (See MIL-HDBK5 9.4.1.3.3).
(e)  Yield is less than 2/3 of indicated ultimate.
 
Data presented in this table is preliminary, and has not been reviewed for use by the MIL-HDBK-5 committee.
