FOREWORD
American National Standards Committee B18 for the standardization of bolts, screws, nuts, rivets, and similar fasteners was organized in March 1922 as Sectional Committee B18 under the aegis of the American Engineering Standards Committee (later the American Standards Association, then the United States of America Standards lnstitute and as of October6,1969, the American NationalStandardsInstitute,Incorporated),withtheSocietyofAutomotive Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers as joint sponsors. Subcommittee 22 was subsequently established and charged with the responsibility for technical content of standards covering flat washers. In early 1976,the Subcommittee was directed to develop a new standard for metric general purpose flat washers. The first draft was based on work done by a 1975/76S A E ad hoc washer task force. The SAE objective, and subsequently the Subcommittee 22 objective, was to provide a standard compatible with metric bolt standards and to avoid deficiencies of the existing inch standard which had historically fostered specialty washers. Improvements were to include closer ID to bolt shank clearance for maximum bearing area, least numberof OD increments in rational proportion toID, shghtly increased thicknesses with minimum tolerance, and defined geometric form variability. IS0 general purpose flat washer standards and draft standards were carefully reviewed during the development of this Standard. However, due to differences in philosophy regarding flat washer manufacture and use, very few IS0 recommended sizes could be accommodated. This Standard was approved by letter ballotof Committee B18,with all negatives resolved at the B18 general meeting of May 20, 1981. It was subsequently approved by the secretariat and submitted to the American National Standards Institute for designation as an American National Standard.This designation was granted on September 2 1,198l.

METRIC PLAIN WASHERS

SCOPE

This Standard covers general specxfications and dimensions for flat,round hole washers, both soft (as fabricated)andhardened,intendedfor use in general purpose applications. The inclusion of dimensional data in this Standard is not intended t o imply that all sizes displayed are production stock items. Manufacturers should be contacted for current information on stock sizes.

row and regular series. Theyareintended primarily for use in high-strength joints to minimizeembedment, to provide auniform bearing surface,and to bridge large clearance holes and slots.

4 DIMENSIONS Washer dimensions shall be in accordancewith Table l . All dimensions in this Standard are in millimeters, unless otherwise specrfed.
4.1 Inside Diameter. To maximize bearing area, minimuminside diameter is calculated as approximately 0.97 x bolt underhead fillet transition diameter.' Theoretically, the bolt fdet may contact the washer inside edge before full seating. However, actual -contait be -minimal and minor metal deformation wdl occur so that full bolt bearing surface contact w i l be achieved at nominal clamp loads. Inside diameters havebeenestablished assuming natural ( a s fabricated) finish onboltsand washers. Some closeness of fit may occur if products are galvanized or have some other heavy coating or plating. 4.2 Inside Profile. As a result of the punching process, the inside diameter of the washer generally consists of threedistinct sections. On the punch entry side of the washer there is some drawing in of the material resulting in -aroundedcomersection,followed by a substantially parallel section, and finally at the exit side a tapered breakout occurs (see Fig. 1). The parallel-sided section of the washer inside diameter must be w i t h i n the tabulated limits. However, the specified maximum inside diameter may be exceeded at the washer face on the breakout side by amaximumtaper allowance of 25 percent of the specified maximum washerthickness foreach size.

COMPARISON WITH I S 0

The washers described in this Standard are nominally similar to those contained in various IS0 documents.Outsidediameters were selected, wherepossible, from ISO/TC2/WG6/N47, General Plan for Plain Washers for Metric Bolts, Screws, and Nuts. The thicknesses shown in this Standard are similar to the nominal thicknesses shown in I S 0 documents. However, the tolerances on thicknesses shown in this document differ in that they permit the use of secondary material for washer manufacture. Inside diameters shown in this document differ from the inside diameters shown in IS0 documents.

TYPES OF WASHERS

a sfabricated) washers are generally 3.1 Soft Soft ( available in nominal sizes 1.6 mm through 36 mm in a variety of materials. They are normally used in low strengthapplications to distribute bearing load, to provide auniform bearing surface,and to prevent marring of the work surface.
3.2 Hardened. Hardened steel washers are normally available in sizes 6 mm through 36 mm in the nar-
