This color Cleco is the industry standard for a hole prepared for a 5/32 rivet.
Black
his force, which attempts to "joggle" a rivet, is what a well-designed joint usually fails in.
Shear
Rivet diameter is measured in this fractional increment.
32nds
his is the most common damage seen on a rivet head when the gun is not held straight.
Smiles
Known as "Icebox rivets," these two letter-coded rivets must be heat-treated and refrigerated.
D and DD
When drilling very hard metal, this is the smallest included drill angle allowed.
118 Degrees

Cherry Max (Blind rivets)
Rivet length is measured in this fractional increment.
16ths

Center punch, drill head, snap head, punch out shank
Minimum edge distance is defined as this many "D" (diameters) from the center of the hole.
2D
This FAA publication contains the criteria for deciding the number of rivets in a repair.
AC43.13-1B
This part number code (like 470 or 426) identifies this physical characteristic of the rivet.
Head Style
When drilling hard material, you should use this specific combination of speed and pressure.
Slow speed with high pressure
This process involves creating a step-up or offset at an angle in a repair sheet.
Joggling
This is the "Grip Length" formula or combined material thickness for an MS20470AD5-6.
