====Rivet Nut Sizes and holes====


====Rivet Nut Sizes and holes====
A rivet nut, also known as a nutsert or rivnut, is a clever fastener that combines the features of a rivet and a nut into a single piece. It's essentially a hollow, internally threaded tube with a deformable head on one end.
 
To install it, the rivet nut is placed into a pre-drilled hole in a thin sheet of material, and a special tool is used to pull on the threads, causing the hollow shank to collapse and flare out behind the material. This action permanently clamps the rivet nut in place, creating a strong, reliable threaded insert. This is particularly useful in materials that are too thin or brittle to tap a conventional thread, providing a durable anchor point for bolts and screws.

Quick Hits

  • The standard tripod screw size for cameras and accessories is commonly known as the 1/4"-20 thread. This means that the screw has a diameter of 1/4 inch and a pitch of 20 threads per inch.
  • In typography the measurement of one 'point' is 1/72" or 0.352778mm - a pica is 12 points or 1/6" or 4.233336mm
  • The Speed of light in a vacuum is a constant (represented by the symbol "c") travels at 299792458 meters per second or 670616629 miles per hour. In current theory, nothing can travel faster.
  • 1 meter is defined as the distance light travels in 1/299792458 seconds. so a Light-year is 9460730472580.8 km
  • The thickness of a human hair is around 80 micrometres (17 to 181 micrometers). A micrometre is 1/1000mm or 1 millionth of a meter.

Electrical

Concepts

  • Direct Current (DC) flows in one direction, either steadily or in pulses.
  • Alternating Current (AC) flows in alternating directions across a circuit
  • Current refers to the quantity of electrons passing a given point.
    • Unit - Amperes
    • Symbol - I
  • Voltage - refers to the electrical pressure or force
    • Unit - Volts
    • Symbol - V
  • Resistance - refers to a cause of restriction in the flow of a current
    • Unit - Ohms
    • Symbol - R (or Ω)
  • Power - refers to the work performed by a current
    • Unit - Watt
    • Symbol - p
  • Potential Difference - the difference in voltage between the two ends of a conductor through which a current flows. Also known as voltage drop.

Ohm's Law

a potential difference of 1 volt will force a current of 1 ampere through a resistance of 1 ohm, or: V = I x R or I = V / R or R = V / I

Ohm's law also is used to calculate power where P = I x V (or I^2 x R)

Rivet Nut Sizes and holes

A rivet nut, also known as a nutsert or rivnut, is a clever fastener that combines the features of a rivet and a nut into a single piece. It's essentially a hollow, internally threaded tube with a deformable head on one end.

To install it, the rivet nut is placed into a pre-drilled hole in a thin sheet of material, and a special tool is used to pull on the threads, causing the hollow shank to collapse and flare out behind the material. This action permanently clamps the rivet nut in place, creating a strong, reliable threaded insert. This is particularly useful in materials that are too thin or brittle to tap a conventional thread, providing a durable anchor point for bolts and screws.
