GB/T 12618 is the standard cited for blind pop rivet. This page sets out what the standard controls for this part, reproduces the dimensional table supplied against it, and notes the related designations referenced on drawings.
GB/T 12618 — Scope
GB/T 12618 specifies the dimensional requirements for blind pop rivet — gb/t 12618 / iso 15983 (series 098). Material, surface condition and any performance rating are set by separate documents specific to this part family — ISO 898-1 and ISO 898-2, which govern bolt and nut property classes, do not apply here.
Tolerance & Product Grades
Tolerances for blind pop rivet — gb/t 12618 / iso 15983 (series 098) are given as limits on the individual dimensions in the table rather than as a fastener product grade. Where a general-tolerance class is cited on the drawing instead, it applies to the dimensions not otherwise toleranced.
Dimensions Specified by GB/T 12618
| Nominal diameter (mm) | Grip range (mm) | Cap diameter dk (mm) | Free length L (mm) | Body / mandrel material | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4 | 0.5~3.0 | 5.0 | 7.0 | Aluminum / steel | ISO 15977 / DIN 7337 |
| 3.0 | 0.5~4.0 | 6.0 | 8.0 | Aluminum / steel | ISO 15977 / DIN 7337 |

Companion Standards
GB/T 12618 controls only the geometry of blind pop rivet — gb/t 12618 / iso 15983 (series 098). Surface finish is governed by separate finish standards (for example ISO 4042 for electroplating), and corrosion testing by ISO 9227 (neutral salt spray). Mechanical performance is set by the standards specific to this part family, not by ISO 898-1 or ISO 898-2, which apply to bolts, screws and nuts.
When to Specify GB/T 12618
Choose GB/T 12618 for international engineering work and OEM supply where ISO standards are the contractual reference. It is the default modern specification for blind pop rivet — gb/t 12618 / iso 15983 (series 098).
