SAE Flat Washer ASME B18.22.1 Carbon Steel Stainless Steel Washer is manufactured strictly in accordance with ASME B18.22.1 specification. Compared with USS wide flat washers, this narrow style features a compact outer diameter, which fits installation spaces with limited clearance and can be well matched with UNC and UNF inch fasteners.
We prepare two material solutions for SAE Flat Washer ASME B18.22.1 Carbon Steel Stainless Steel Washer. The carbon steel version brings cost advantages for general indoor assembly, while the stainless steel version provides reliable anti-corrosion performance for outdoor and humid working environments.

SAE Flat Washer ASME B18.22.1 Carbon Steel Stainless Steel Washer is designed to spread bolt pressure evenly, protect workpiece surfaces and reduce loosening risks under continuous vibration. Precision stamping guarantees smooth burr-free surfaces and tight dimensional tolerance for great interchangeability.
It is commonly stocked in popular inch sizes and supports bulk carton packing for large construction and machinery procurement orders.
Q1: What is the difference between SAE flat washer and USS flat washer?
A: SAE flat washer is narrow type with smaller outer diameter for compact installation; USS flat washer is wide type for larger load dispersion. Both follow ASME B18.22.1.
Q2: Is surface treatment necessary for carbon steel washers used outdoors?
A: Yes. Untreated carbon steel washers are easy to rust. Zinc plating or hot dip galvanizing is required for outdoor use.
Q3: What fasteners match this SAE flat washer?
A: It is suitable for UNC and UNF inch bolts and nuts, such as 1/4-20, 5/16-18, 3/8-16.
Q4: Can you support customized packing?
A: Standard bulk carton packing is available, and customized packing solutions can be arranged on request.
