What permits machine countersinking when flush riveting?

  1. When the material is softer than the rivet

  2. When the rivet head is larger than the hole

  3. Thickness of the material is greater than the thickness of the rivet head

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Thickness of the material is greater than the thickness of the rivet head

When flush riveting, the thickness of the material must be greater than the thickness of the rivet head to allow for machine countersinking. Option A is incorrect because the material being softer than the rivet does not necessarily permit countersinking. Option B is incorrect because the rivet head being larger than the hole would cause the rivet to not sit flush against the material. Option D is incorrect because not all of the options listed are correct for machine countersinking when flush riveting. It is important to ensure the proper thickness of the material when deciding on the method of countersinking.
