SS 316 Big OD (Outer Diameter) Washers are premium-grade fastener components designed to provide robust support and load distribution for heavy-duty applications. Manufactured from stainless steel 316, these washers are engineered for environments where durability, corrosion resistance, and strength are critical.
Key Features
- Material Strength:
- Made from SS 316, a marine-grade stainless steel known for its exceptional resistance to corrosion, particularly in chloride-rich or saltwater environments.
- Large Outer Diameter:
- The big OD design enhances load distribution across a wider area, reducing the risk of surface damage and improving stability.
- High Temperature and Pressure Tolerance:
- Performs efficiently under high thermal or mechanical stress, making it ideal for industrial applications.
- Smooth and Polished Finish:
- Ensures a professional appearance and additional resistance to wear and corrosion.
- Compliance with Standards:
- Often manufactured to meet DIN, ASTM, and ISO standards for quality and performance.
Benefits
- Corrosion Resistance:
- Suitable for harsh environments, including marine, chemical, and industrial settings.
- Enhanced Load Bearing:
- Prevents loosening and deformation by distributing the load evenly across surfaces.
- Long-Lasting Durability:
- High resistance to wear, impact, and environmental factors ensures extended service life.
- Versatility:
- Compatible with various bolt sizes and types, making it suitable for diverse applications.
Applications
- Marine Industry:
- Ideal for boats, offshore rigs, and dock installations due to their resistance to saltwater corrosion.
- Construction and Infrastructure:
- Used in bridges, high-rise buildings, and metal framing to enhance structural stability.
- Chemical and Petrochemical Plants:
- Withstands exposure to corrosive chemicals and high-pressure conditions.
- Renewable Energy Systems:
- Essential in solar panels, wind turbines, and other energy solutions for secure assembly.
- Industrial Machinery:
- Ensures reliable performance in high-load, high-vibration environments like heavy equipment and manufacturing plants.
- Food and Pharmaceutical Industries:
- Safe for hygienic applications due to stainless steel’s non-reactive and easy-to-clean properties.
