FOREWORD

American National Standards Committee B18 for the standardization of bolts, screws, nuts,
rivets, and similar fasteners was organized inMarch 1922 as Sectional Committee B18 under
the aegis of the AmericanEngineering Standards Committee (later the American Standards
Association, then the United States of America Standards Institute and as of October 6, 1969,
the American National Standards Institute, Incorporated), with the Society of Automotive
Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers as joint sponsors. Subcommittee
22 was subsequently established and charged with the responsibility for technical content of
standards covering flat washers.
In early 1976, the Subcommittee was directed to develop a new standard for metric general
purpose flat washers.The first draft was basedonwork done by a 1975176 S A E “ad hoc”
washer task force. The SAE objective, and subsequently the Subcommittee 22 objective, was
to provide a standard compatible with metric bolt standards and to avoid deficiencies of the
existing inch standard which had historically fostered specialty washers. Improvements were to
include closer ID to bolt shank clearance for maximum bearing area, least number of OD incre-
ments in rational proportion to ID, slightly increased thicknesses with minimum tolerance, and
defined geometric form variability.
IS0 general purpose flat washer standards and draft standards were carefully reviewed dur-
ing the development of this Standard. However, due to differences in philosophy regarding
flat washer manufacture and use, very fewIS0 recommended sizescould be accommodated.
This Standard was approved by letter ballot of Committee B18,with all negatives resolvedat
the €318 general meeting of May 20, 1981. It was subsequently approved by the secretariat
and submitted to the American National Standards Institute for designation as an American
National Standkd. This designation was granted on September 2 1,1981.
