Full title and description

Technical drawings — Simplified representation of the assembly of parts with fasteners — Part 2: Rivets for aerospace equipment. Specifies the simplified/front-view graphical representation of rivets on technical drawings used in aerospace applications, including conventions for heads, countersinking and assembly indication on engineering drawings.

Abstract

ISO 5845-2:1995 defines how rivets should be represented in front view on technical drawings for aerospace equipment, providing a compact, standardized set of graphic conventions to ensure clear communication of riveted assemblies between designers, manufacturers and airworthiness authorities.

Scope

Gives rules for the simplified representation, in front view, of rivets used in aerospace constructions on technical drawings. The standard addresses graphic symbols and conventional depiction (including flush and protruding head forms, countersunk arrangements and basic leader/annotation conventions) so that rivet locations and types are clearly and consistently shown on engineering drawings for aerospace equipment. It is intended specifically for aerospace applications and complements the general principles in ISO 5845‑1.

Key topics and requirements

• Standardized front‑view graphical symbols for rivet heads (flush, protruding, countersunk) and their simplified shapes on drawings.
• Conventions for indicating rivet assemblies and positions on multi‑part assemblies using simplified representation.
• Annotation and leader-line practices to identify rivet types or special treatments where necessary.
• Limits and applicability: rules targeted to aerospace engineering drawings and intended to be used together with the series’ general principles (Part 1).
• Compatibility with national adoptions and equivalents (identical adoptions exist in several national bodies).

Typical use and users

Used by aerospace engineers, design drafters, CAD/CAM specialists, technical illustrators, manufacturing planners and documentation authors who prepare or interpret assembly and detail drawings for aircraft and spacecraft components where riveted fastenings are used. Also referenced by quality, inspection and certification teams to ensure consistent drawing interpretation.

Related standards

ISO 5845-1:1995 (Technical drawings — Simplified representation of the assembly of parts with fasteners — Part 1: General principles) is the companion document setting the overarching rules. There are identical or adopted national versions such as DIN ISO 5845-2 and BIS IS 15023-2. Related drawing and presentation standards (general principles) include ISO 128 (technical drawings — general rules) and other ISO drawing standards used in mechanical and aerospace documentation.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 5845-2:1995 is an ISO international standard that specifies the simplified/front‑view graphical representation of rivets on technical drawings for aerospace equipment.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers conventions and symbolic depictions used to show rivets in the front view on engineering drawings — including forms for different head types (flush, protruding, countersunk), basic annotation rules and how to indicate rivet positions in assemblies for aerospace applications.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Aerospace design engineers, drafters, CAD specialists, technical document authors, manufacturing planners and inspection/certification personnel who need consistent drawing conventions for riveted assemblies.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The edition published in 1995 is recorded by ISO as published and was confirmed in the ISO systematic review process on 5 June 2020; it remains the current edition unless and until ISO revises or withdraws it. (ISO standards are subject to regular five‑year reviews.)

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 2 of ISO 5845. Part 1 (ISO 5845-1:1995) contains the general principles for simplified representation of assemblies with fasteners; Part 2 provides rivet‑specific front‑view rules.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Rivet, fastener, technical drawing, simplified representation, front view, aerospace, drawing convention, ISO 5845.
