DIN 435 A2 Stainless Steel Square Taper Washers with 14% Taper Leveling
What are DIN 435 A2 Stainless Steel Square Taper Washers?
DIN 435 A2 stainless steel square taper washers are metric tapered leveling washers designed for bolted connections on I-sections, steel beams, and channel sections with sloping flanges. Their tapered profile compensates for the angle of the structural flange, creating a more level bearing surface for the bolt head or nut.
The 14% taper allows the washer to follow the slope of the flange while providing a broad square bearing surface. DIN 435 specifies the characteristics of square taper washers for structural bolting of I-sections.
Why choose DIN 435 A2 Stainless Steel Washers with 14% Taper?
A2 stainless steel provides good general corrosion resistance, making these square taper leveling washers useful where structural connections may be exposed to moisture, humidity, weather, or other corrosive conditions. The tapered design compensates for sloped steel flanges, allowing the bolt head or nut to seat on a more level surface and helping distribute clamping force across the connection.
Why choose DIN 435 A2 Stainless Steel Square Taper Washers?
These washers combine the leveling function of a 14% taper washer with the corrosion resistance of A2 stainless steel. The square profile provides a large bearing area, while the tapered cross-section helps correct the angle between the fastener and the sloped structural member. They are a useful choice for metric construction and fabrication projects where a standard flat washer cannot properly accommodate the angle of the steel flange.
Where are DIN 435 A2 Stainless Steel Square Taper Washers commonly used?
DIN 435 A2 stainless steel square taper washers are commonly used in outdoor steel construction, structural steelwork, steel fabrication, commercial construction, industrial buildings, warehouses, structural frames, I-beams, H-beams, steel channels, C-channels, structural supports, equipment frames, platforms, walkways, machinery installations, agricultural structures, architectural structures, and outdoor industrial equipment.
They are especially useful for tapered flange I-sections and channel sections where a corrosion-resistant leveling washer is needed beneath a metric bolt head or nut. A2 stainless steel also makes them suitable for outdoor structures, agricultural equipment, construction equipment, commercial installations, and general industrial applications where exposure to moisture and weather is a concern.
For highly corrosive marine or saltwater environments, A4/316 stainless steel is generally the more appropriate stainless grade.
