Review of Australian Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Australian Standards are subject
to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue of amendments or new edit ions as necessary. It is
important therefore that Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest editi on, and any
amendments thereto.
Full details of all Australi an Standards and related publi cati ons wil l be found in the Standards Australia
Catalogue of Publications; this information is supplemented each month by the magazine ‘The Australian
Standard’, which subscribing members receive, and which gives detail s of new publi cati ons, new edit ions
and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggesti ons for improvements to Australi an Standards, addressed to the head off ice of Standards Australia,
are welcomed. Notif ication of any inaccuracy or ambiguit y found in an Australi an Standard should be made
without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.

This standard was issued in draft form for public review as DR 72034.

PREFACE

This standard was prepared by the Association’s Committee on Threaded Fasteners,

in order to provide manufacturing and purchasing information on a metric series of flat
metal washers.

Based on a preliminary draft submitted by the Fasteners Institute of Australia, this

standard, along with other drafts and published standards, is one of a series intended
to provide a rational range of standards for metric fasteners and accessories.

In the preparation of this standard consideration was given to the following ISO
Recommendations and Draft Proposal:

ISO/R887—Washers for hexagon bolts and nuts—metric series

ISO 273 —Clearance holes for metric bolts

Requirements in the following Australian Standards were also taken into account:

AS 1110—ISO Metric hexagon precision bolts and screws

AS 1111—ISO Metric hexagon commercial bolts and screws

AS 1112—ISO Metric hexagon nuts, including thin nuts, castle nuts and slotted nuts.

AS 1123—Metric sizes of wrought ferrous and non-ferrous strip.

To meet the needs of Australian industry, this standard provides for types (varieties)
of washers for use with externally threaded metric fasteners. The types of washers
specified and their compatability with ISO metric washers are listed below:

Table 2.1—Bright Metal Washers—Small Series: based on ISO product grade ‘A’
series 1

Table 3.1—Bright Metal Washers—Normal Series: based on ISO product grade ‘A’
series 2

Table 4.1—Black Steel Washers—Normal Series: based on ISO product grade ‘B’
series 2

Table 4.2—Black Steel Washers—Large Series: based on ISO product grade ‘B’,
series 3.

The bright metal washers have been specified in two series according to intended end
usage. The small series given in Table 2.1 is mainly intended for use with metric
machine screws and metric socket-head cap screws whilst the normal series in
Table 3.1 is mainly intended for use with metric hexagon precision grade bolts and
screws.
 3 AS 1237—1973

Similarly, black steel washers in both the normal and large series are mainly intended
for use with metric hexagon commercial grade bolts and screws.

The washer thicknesses have been largely rationalized to suit Australian practice; these
values in the larger range of sizes represent a reduction in the thicknesses in ISO Draft
Proposal 501. The committee felt that no great importance has been attached to washer
thicknesses in the past and thicknesses different from those currently manufactured
have not been requested. Similarly non-ferrous washers are specified in lighter gauges
because these products are not normally used under stressed situations.

With the aim of rationalization, and to encourage industry to select from preferred
metric fasteners and accessories series, washers suitable for use with non-preferred
metric fasteners are given in Appendix C for information only.

Other appendices contain supplementary information on an extra-large series of black

steel washers, a thicker series of bright metal washers, and the basic dimensions of
washers in the size range 72 mm to 150 mm inclusive.

APPENDIX B
SIZES GREATER THAN 64 mm DIAMETER

Although it is considered that the range of nominal sizes included in Table 4.1 is
adequate for most of the applications for which standard metric washers are required,
this Appendix provides information for the convenience of users requiring larger sizes.

APPENDIX C
NON-PREFERRED SIZES

This Appendix contains information regarding metal washers suitable for use with the
second choice series of ISO metric bolts and screws diameter-pitch combinations.

It should be noted that the use of components which require metal washers in this
series is discouraged and every endeavour should be made to select a size from the
standard range.

APPENDIX D
THICK BRIGHT STEEL WASHERS

This Appendix provides information on a thicker type of bright steel washer than those
given in the standard, suitable for use in railway or other heavy engineering
applications.

The outside diameters and hole dimensions are the same as the normal series given in
Table 3.1 but the thicknesses have been increased to provide an improved stress
distribution.
