What's the difference between brass semi tubular rivets and brass hollow tubular rivets?

The main difference between brass semi-tubular and hollow tubular rivets lies in the shank hole depth: semi-tubular rivets have a shallow hole (less than 112% of shank diameter), while hollow tubular rivets have a deeper hole (112% or more of shank diameter).

Semi-Tubular Rivets

Also known as hollow rivets.
Have a manufactured head on one end and a shallow, tubular shank hole on the other.
The shank hole depth is less than 112% of the shank diameter.
Require less force to install compared to solid rivets.
Can be fastened to a tight or loose fit depending on the application.
Semi-Tubular Rivets

Hollow Tubular Rivets

Also known as full tubular rivets.
Have a manufactured head on one end and a deeper, tubular shank hole on the other.
The shank hole depth is equal to or greater than 112% of the shank diameter.
May be weaker than semi-tubular rivets.
Used for fastening thin sheets of material like plastics, leather, sheet metal, and pivot points when movement is necessary.
