Question: 1 / 400

What type of rivet can be driven when only one side of a joint is accessible?

Solid rivets

Blind rivets

Pop rivets

Blind rivets, also known as pop rivets, are specifically designed for applications where only one side of a joint is accessible. They consist of a tubular body and a mandrel that is pulled through the body to expand it on the blind side, creating a secure joint. This is particularly advantageous in situations where it is impossible to reach the back side of the material being joined, such as in the assembly of two sheets of metal where one side is hidden.

In contrast, solid rivets require access to both sides for proper installation, as they need to be hammered or squeezed on both ends to create a secure connection. Structural rivets are typically used for heavier applications and also require access from both sides.
