| Manufacturing Specification |
Washers are typically stamped or machined from Monel K500 plate/sheet or rod conforming to ASTM B865. Dimensional tolerances strictly follow DIN 125, DIN 9021, or ASME B18.22.1. |
| Types Available |
Flat Washers (Form A / Form B), Spring Lock Washers, Belleville Washers, Machined Washers, and Custom Punched Washers. |
| Properties & Applications |
Crucial for evenly distributing heavy structural loads while preventing galling in high-pressure assemblies. They provide the required severe corrosion resistance and non-magnetic properties necessary for marine hardware, offshore oil platforms, and highly stressed pump components operating in sour-gas environments. |
| Marking |
Due to size constraints and stamping limitations on hardened materials, flat washers are generally not permanently marked unless specifically requested by the client or required by a custom specification. |
| Qualification & Acceptance |
Independently tested for hardness, chemical analysis, pitting resistance, and supplied with EN 10204 Type 3.1 Material Test Certification. |
