Precision Matters: Technical Advantages of Our 5/16 Flat Washer

Why trust generic washers when precision matters? Our SAE J121 flat washers solve three critical pain points:

First, consistent thickness. While competitors vary ±0.002", our CNC-machined 5/16 flat washers maintain exact 0.065" thickness. No more uneven pressure distribution!

Second, corrosion resistance. Standard washers fail within months in wet environments. Our zinc flat washer coating provides 500+ hours salt spray protection.

Third, exact hole sizing. That perfect 0.3125" inner diameter ensures bolt alignment every time. Who has hours to fix misaligned assemblies?

Flat Washer Weight Chart: Comparison Analysis

Ever wonder why washer weights vary? We tested top brands so you don't have to:

Brand	Material	5/16 Washer Weight (100 pcs)	Corrosion Protection

FAQS on flat washer 5 16

Q: What dimensions define a 5/16 flat washer?

A: A 5/16 flat washer has an inner diameter (ID) of approximately 0.344 inches (designed for 5/16" bolts) and typically features an outer diameter (OD) of 0.625 inches. Its thickness usually ranges between 0.046" to 0.065" depending on standards like SAE or USS specifications.

Q: Where can I find a weight chart for flat washers?

A: Flat washer weight charts are available from industrial suppliers like Fastenal or McMaster-Carr, displaying weights per hundred pieces based on size and material. For example, a standard steel 5/16 flat washer weighs ~0.014 lbs each, while zinc-plated variants may show slight differences.

Q: What are the benefits of zinc flat washers?

A: Zinc flat washers provide moderate corrosion resistance through electroplating, making them suitable for indoor or mildly corrosive environments. They maintain the conductivity and load distribution of standard steel washers while offering extended rust protection compared to uncoated options.

Q: When should I choose a white flat washer?

A: White flat washers feature a zinc-nickel or galvanized coating for high-visibility applications where color coding matters, such as electrical panels or marine fittings. This finish offers superior corrosion resistance over plain zinc plating, especially in humid or salt-exposed installations.

Q: Are 5/16 flat washers reusable in structural applications?

A: Reuse depends on condition: Inspect for cracks, deformation, or thinning after initial torque-down. While zinc/white plated 5/16 washers can often be reused in non-critical assemblies, always replace washers in structural, automotive, or high-vibration systems.
