Overview: Heavy USS Flat Washer
- The USS Heavy Flat Washer Grade 8 Zinc Yellow by BoltCraft is designed to withstand the rigors of high-strength bolting applications, offering reliable load distribution across a larger area. The outer diameter and thicker profile of these USS flat washers contribute to enhanced load distribution and reduce the risk of deformation.
- Its heavy-duty construction and corrosion-resistant coating make it suitable for critical assemblies where failure is not an option, and its adherence to the United States standard ensures compatibility with a wide range of fasteners and screws.
Applications & Advantages
- Specifically engineered for use with Grade 8 bolts in automotive, industrial applications, and construction projects, this washer is suitable for environments where maximum strength and reliability are required.
- The zinc yellow coating not only offers superior corrosion resistance but also facilitates easy identification of the Grade 8 standard, ensuring compatibility and ease of use.
- Unlike some SAE washers, this USS flat washer is designed for even greater load distribution, protecting the surface of materials under high clamping forces.
Material & Specifications: USS Flat Washers
- Constructed from high-grade alloy steel, this washer is comparable in performance to hot dip galvanized counterparts but benefits from the zinc yellow plating for added environmental protection.
- Meeting the stringent requirements associated with Grade 8 hardware, it guarantees uniformity in strength and performance. Additionally, the alloy steel enhances its versatility across various fasteners and applications, similar to low carbon steel washers.
- Our heavy USS flat washer design ensures that the washers maintain their structural integrity, providing reliable performance even in harsh conditions. The precise diameter and thickness allow for a snug fit with both bolts and screws, ensuring a secure connection.
Reliability & Performance
- Their precise thickness and uniformity ensure consistent performance, while the thicker material enhances load distribution and reduces the stress on the surface of connected materials.
Testing & Compliance: USS Flat Washers
- Subject to stringent quality control measures, these washers undergo rigorous testing for dimensional accuracy, outer diameter consistency, and coating thickness to meet or exceed the standards for Grade 8 washers.
- They align with the United States standard specifications, ensuring suitability across a range of bolts, fasteners, and screws. The performance and durability of these washers are ensured through comprehensive testing, making them a trusted choice for industrial applications where high strength and resistance to environmental factors such as moisture and vibration are paramount.
