Nas523 Rivet Code Chart Direct

There is no standalone “NAS523 Rivet Code Chart” because the coding system for rivets is defined across multiple NAS standards (e.g., NASM20426, NAS1097, NAS523 itself for material/processing).

Note: NAS523 rivets are rarely made above -8 diameter. For longer lengths, add +2 increments (e.g., -12 = 0.750”). Because NAS523 specifies aluminum alloys, the rivet head color (anodize or dye) acts as a quick reference chart: add +2 increments (e.g.
