The SS 316 Big OD Washer is an industrial fastener made of stainless steel with superior specifications and aimed primarily at greater load distribution and durability for delivery in high industrial environments. Made of marine-grade SS 316 stainless steel, this washer is widely accepted across industries where long-term service life, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength are required.
Key Qualities
-
Material Strength:
Constructed of SS 316, this washer provides optimum corrosion-resisting provision—from salt water and chloride-rich environments. This is always used along with SS Hexagonal Bolts, SS Threaded Rod Bar, and other stainless fasteners supplied by a leading Fasteners Supplier in UAE. -
Big OD:
The big outer diameter allows for extended load distribution, making this a very suitable washer for the surface-sensitive applications where surface marking, wear, or deformation is to be minimized. Works well together with Machine Screws, Stud Bolts, and Brass Fasteners matching also in versatility. -
High Temperature and Pressure Resistance:
Capable of performing functionally under such extreme thermal and mechanical loads, this washer is the best choice for chemical plants, marine rigs, as well as aerospace structures, where in most instances it gets to be employed with Rigging Fasteners and Carbon Steel Bolts & Nuts. -
Smooth Polished Finish:
Provides a clean, professional look while increasing wear and corrosion resistance. This goes along with the premium hardware assemblies where aesthetics and performance are at equal importance. -
Standards Compliance:
Manufactured in accordance with standards of DIN, ASTM, ISO so that it is globally compatible as well as consistently performing across industries.
Advantages
-
Corrosion Resistant:
Ideal for very severe environments, such as marine, chemical, and offshore, where durability and corrosion resistance are not negotiable. -
Load Bearing Enhancement:
It evenly distributes loads over large areas to reduce the chance of loosening and surface damage—perfect when used with SS Flat Washers or in large diameter assembly applications. -
Long Life Span:
With its polished finish and superior mechanical strength, this washer ensures shock absorption and longevity in high-impact applications. -
Versatility:
Usable with a wide bolt variety and assembly configurations, this washer accommodates the different grades, types, and sizes included in the Stud Supplier’s offerings in UAE for flexible use.
Applications of SS 316 Big OD Washer
-
Marine Uses:
With unparalleled resistance to saltwater corrosion, the SS 316 Big OD Washer finds its application as an important part in any marine environment, including boats, offshore platforms, and docking systems. Furthermore, its proven compatibility with SS Hexagonal Bolts and Stud Bolts makes it an engineer’s first choice in sourcing from the top Fasteners Suppliers in UAE. -
Construction and Infrastructure:
For example, in high-load structural assemblies such as bridges, steel-framed buildings, and industrial roofing, these washers stamp out a broader surface area, which increases stability and reduces stress marks. They are often installed with SS Threaded Rod Bars and meet the DIN and ASTM standards that modern infrastructure requires. -
Chemical and Petrochemical Plants:
Specifically built to be suitable for highly corrosive environments, the SS 316 Big OD Washer is even applicable in pipeline joints as well as in chemical containment units. When used with fasteners provided by Stud Suppliers in UAE, a regulated performance can be guaranteed. -
Renewable Energy Systems:
In solar and wind deployments, where the maintenance of torque retention becomes critical over time and vibration, these washers keep things within the balance. Their broad load distribution makes them perfectly compatible with Machine Screws and even structural bolts used for sustainability setups. -
Industrial Machinery:
Along with heavy-duty machines that are continuously subject to the disturbance of vibration or changes in load, the Big OD Washer in SS 316 will help extend joint life by distributing pressure evenly. It can commonly be seen alongside Carbon Steel Bolts and Nuts in manufacturing and mechanical sectors. -
Food & Pharmaceutical Equipment:
Its inactive polished finish and corrosion-proof material ensure safety for the SS 316 Big OD Washer under hygienic installations. Most commonly employed there where Nylon Teflon Washers are not good enough for high-load zones, especially in cleanroom-rated systems.
