High Tensile Round Washers

High Tensile Round Washers
How to measure washers
Two ways to confirm before you order - whichever you already know.
1If you know your bolt size

Washers are named by the bolt they fit: an M10 washer suits an M10 bolt. The inside diameter is slightly larger than the bolt so it slides on. Our guide covers every size and washer type we stock.

2If you have a washer in hand

Measure the inside diameter (ID), outside diameter (OD) and thickness, as shown in the drawing.

MATERIALS AND FINISHES

High Tensile Class 8 / 8.8 Steel — Zinc Plated — Bright silver zinc, for general industrial use.

High Tensile Class 8.8 Galvanised — Hot-dip galvanised, outdoor and structural applications.

PAIRING WITH BOLTS

Match the washer grade to the bolt grade. A Class 8.8 bolt deserves at minimum a Class 8 washer; pairing with a low-tensile (Class 4.6) washer will likely cause washer deformation under full preload. For Class 10.9 and 12.9 applications, see our structural K0 washers.

High tensile flat round washers are made from harder material than standard washers — typically Class 8 or 8.8 — to withstand the clamping loads generated by high tensile bolts. Using a low tensile washer with a high tensile bolt can result in washer deformation, reduced preload, and joint failure over time.
