ISO 14589 specifies the methods of mechanical testing of blind rivets including: shear test, tensile test, mandrel head retention capability test, mandrel push out resistance test (prior to setting), and mandrel break load test, at an ambient temperature of 10 C to 35 C. It applies to blind rivets with nominal diameters up to and including 6.4 mm.
Universal tensile testing machine capable of applying a load continuously at a speed not less than 7 mm/min nor greater than 13 mm/min, until the specimen fails. By means of our testing expertise and modular product design, we will help find the solution that is right for you. Give our test engineers a call today for help configuring the best test machine and accessories according to ISO 14589.
Recommended Test Machine
Forces up to 5 kN (1,125 lbf)
Low force tabletop systems
Tests at speeds up to 2,500 mm/min (100 in/min)
Best for high travel or high elongation test requirements
Force range of 5 kN to 600 kN (1,125 lbf to 135,000 lbf)
Adjustable test space
The most popular choice for static tension and compression tests
These dual column testers are available in both tabletop and floor standing models
