74 IMPORTANT TERMS USED IN RIVETED JOINTS
+ Pitch (p): This is the distance between two centers of the consecutive rivets int
single row.
rivets in the various rows are opposite to each other.
the adjacent rows are staggered in sucha Wi)
iddle of the two rivets of the opposite row
is necessary to have rivets countersunk"
