DIN6791 Semitubular Pan Head Rivets

DIN 6791 Semitubular Pan Head Rivets have a partially hollow shank that is formed at the open end during installation, allowing the rivet to be secured by flaring or expanding the tubular section rather than deforming the entire rivet body. This design requires less forming force than a solid rivet and provides a controlled, repeatable fastening method for components that need to be permanently joined.

The pan head provides a defined bearing surface on the visible side of the assembly, while the semitubular shank accommodates different forming methods depending on the material and joint design. DIN 6791 rivets are available in different diameters and lengths and can be supplied in materials selected for the required strength, corrosion resistance, and forming characteristics, making them suitable for sheet-metal parts, brackets, housings, electrical components, and mechanical assemblies.

Specification:

DIN 6791 Semitubular Pan Head Rivets are specified according to the material, head style, tubular shank design, and forming requirements of the finished joint. The semitubular construction leaves part of the shank hollow, allowing the open end to be flared or expanded during riveting. This makes the rivet suitable for assemblies where controlled deformation is preferred over fully upsetting a solid shank.

Material selection depends on the forming process and service environment. Steel is commonly used for general mechanical assemblies, while stainless steel is selected when the joint is exposed to moisture or corrosive conditions. Aluminum can be used where lower weight and easier forming are required. Depending on the material, plain, zinc-plated, or other surface finishes can be supplied.

Dimension Chart of DIN6791 Semitubular Pan Head Rivets:

The DIN 6791 dimension chart focuses on the geometry of the rivet and the dimensions required for correct installation. The nominal diameter determines the required hole size, while the rivet length needs to provide sufficient material for the tubular end to form a secure closing head after riveting. The pan head dimensions also determine the bearing area and the finished appearance of the joint. The chart covers the main dimensions of DIN 6791 Semitubular Pan Head Rivets, including rivet diameter (d), length (l), pan head diameter (dk), head height (k), and the dimensions of the hollow tubular section. These measurements can be checked against the thickness of the components, hole diameter, and selected riveting process before production or assembly.
