Osculati A2 AISI 304 Stainless Steel Large Diameter Flat Washers - 3x Nominal Diameter
Osculati large diameter flat washers are manufactured from A2 (AISI 304) stainless steel and feature an enlarged circular profile designed to distribute fastening loads over a wider contact area. The manufacturer identifies this range as "Washer x 3 nominal diameter".
The washers have an outer diameter three times the nominal fastener diameter. For example, the M4 size is listed as 4x12 mm, while the M8 size is listed as 8x24 mm. This larger bearing surface is particularly useful when fastening components that benefit from greater support beneath a bolt head or nut.
Compared with standard flat washers, the larger outside diameter helps spread the clamping force over a wider area of the mounted component. It can also help reduce localized surface pressure when used with appropriately selected fasteners.
These washers are suitable for use with compatible metric bolts, machine screws and threaded rods. They may be installed beneath a screw or bolt head, or between a nut and the mounting surface, depending on the assembly requirements.
The plain, flat design does not incorporate a dedicated locking or sealing mechanism. These washers should not be treated as substitutes for spring washers, serrated lock washers or sealing washers when such functions are required.
A2 (AISI 304) stainless steel offers corrosion resistance for general indoor, outdoor and suitable marine applications. For prolonged saltwater exposure or environments with high chloride concentrations, the suitability of the material should be assessed.
The range includes nine dimensional variants, corresponding to nominal metric fastener sizes from M3 to M16. Each version has an individual Osculati part number and is supplied in a cardboard box containing 10, 25, 50, 100 or 200 washers.

Size Selection
Select the nominal washer size according to the diameter of the bolt, screw or threaded rod being used. The first number in the catalogue dimensions identifies the nominal fastener size, while the second number indicates the enlarged outside diameter of the washer.
For example, the 6x18 mm variant is intended for nominal M6 fasteners and has an outside diameter of 18 mm. The nominal size should not be interpreted as the exact internal hole diameter.
Exact inner hole dimensions, washer thicknesses and dimensional tolerances are not specified in the supplied catalogue information.
