3/16 Rivet Specification-4.8mm Blind Rivet Guide

1.What is a 3/16" Blind Rivet?

3/16" mean diameter rivet  is 3/16 inch  or 4.8mm blind rivets.It is widely used for hole size bigger than 4.8mm.Fox example 5.0 mm Drill Hole.

2.Full standard Specifications of 3/16" Rivet

All standard 3 /16 "rivet sizes follow  industrial standards, with fixed core parameters tailored for 4.8mm blind rivet applications. Below are the complete and practical specs for the blind rivet 3/ 16", covering installation, material and clamping requirements.

Diameter, Length & Drill Hole Size

The standard shank diameter of  3 /16" rivet is 4.8mm, with matched body lengths covering common mid-thickness assembly scenarios. For smooth installation and firm clamping, the recommended drill hole size for all 3 /16" pop rivet and industrial blind rivet 3/ 16 "variants is 5.0mm, leaving reasonable clearance to avoid jamming or loose fitting during operation.

Available Materials

Standard 3 /16" rivet sizes support multiple practical materials to fit different working environments. Common options include aluminum for lightweight assembly, carbon steel for regular strength requirements, and stainless steel for anti-rust and corrosion-resistant projects. Whether you choose a basic 3 /16" pop rivet or a heavy-duty blind rivet 3/ 16", material customization is available to meet specific industrial demands.

Typical Grip Range

The grip range for standard 3 /16" rivet specifications is 2.0mm to 8.0mm, suitable for most combined sheet thicknesses in medium-load assembly. This universal grip coverage is why 3/ 1"6 rivet sizes are so popular in general manufacturing, and it differentiates the versatile blind rivet 3 /16" from specialized narrow-range rivet specifications.

Common Applications & Advantages

The 3 /16" rivet is widely applied in automotive accessory assembly, electrical enclosure production, building metal panel installation, and general mechanical equipment manufacturing. Both ordinary 3 /16" pop rivet for light indoor work and industrial blind rivet 3 /16" for outdoor and vibration-prone environments are extensively adopted in these fields.

Strength and Installation Benefits

3/ 16" rivet delivers higher tensile and shear strength, ensuring stable and long-lasting clamping performance for mid-load structures. Like all blind rivet types, it supports one-sided blind installation.
