Question 2

What materials and finishes does this washer have?

Question 4

How does the hot‑dipped finish help with corrosion resistance?

Accepted Answer

The hot‑dipped zinc coating creates a protective layer over the steel, significantly improving rust and corrosion resistance, especially in outdoor or humid environments.

Place the washer between the bolt head (or nut) and the surface, ensuring the 16 mm bolt fits properly. Tighten to achieve a secure, even clamp, making sure the washer sits flat to distribute the load.

Question 8

How many washers come per kilogram?

Accepted Answer

The washer is sold by weight (per kilogram). The exact number per kg depends on the washer’s thickness and mass per piece, so counts will vary with the specific lot.

Question 9

How does this washer compare to a plain steel washer in terms of durability and protection?

Accepted Answer

Compared with plain steel washers, this GI flat washer offers superior corrosion resistance due to the hot‑dip galvanization and a hardened surface, resulting in longer service life in harsh or outdoor environments.

When should I choose this 16 mm GI flat washer over other sizes like 12 mm or 20 mm?
