Structural Washers
Structural washers, also known as heavy-duty or hardened washers, are specialized types of washers used in construction and structural applications where the reliability and integrity of connections are crucial. These washers are designed to distribute the load and provide reinforcement to bolts, nuts, and screws in various structural assemblies, such as bridges, buildings, and industrial equipment. They are typically larger and thicker than standard flat washers, and they come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate specific needs.
Structural washers are commonly used in conjunction with bolts and nuts in applications where safety and load-bearing capacity are critical. They help prevent bolts from loosening, distribute the load evenly, and reduce the risk of joint failure. These washers are essential components in construction, infrastructure projects, and other applications where structural stability and integrity are paramount.
