Plain Flat Washer, IFI Type B, Low Carbon Steel, Zinc Plated, Round Shape, USA Made, 0.084" ID, 0.156" OD, 0.022-0.028" Thick (Pack of 50)

Type B Flat Washers are manufactured to the Industrial Fastener Institute Type B specification. Originating in 1965 ASME B18.22.1 established a categoruy of Tyoe A and Type B Flat Washer dimensions. The Type B are available in narrow, regular, and wide series, with proportions designed for distributing load over larger areas of low strength materials. Available from stock in screw sizes from #0 through 1/2" bolt sizes. Manufactured of Low Carbon Steel, with a protective silver Zinc plating (RoHs compliant).

Made in the USA. These flat washers are produced in the USA for excellent quality conformance. One of the significant differences between less expensive imported products and ours are the way we stamp. Many cheap imports are produced on gang dies that produce 10 or more washers per stroke of the press. Using such a large die means that the individual washer sets are not adjustable - when the punch wears, the dimensions change and there is no way to fix this as the press produces washers, leading to a large variation in the finished part.

Materials available in many other countries are not as consistent as the domestic steels we use, which gives the imports a cheaper cost, but can lead to failures and inconsistencies when the products are used. The Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) was created to address this problem. Our materials are DFARS compliant although we do not supply the certification except on special order.
