FASTENER LAYOUT

Rivet Spacing and Pitch

Centre-to-centre spacing used to distribute load through a fastened joint.

Key reference points

  • Pitch is measured between adjacent fastener centres.
  • Row spacing and stagger also affect joint layout.
  • Common diameter-based ranges are training examples, not universal limits.
