DIN 6916 is a technical standard that outlines the specifications for heavy washers made of steel with a large outside diameter. These washers are designed to distribute the load of a threaded fastener such as a bolt or nut, providing a secure and stable connection. The standard covers washers with a thickness of 8 mm to 36 mm and an outside diameter ranging from 30 mm to 200 mm. DIN 6916 ensures that these heavy washers meet the necessary requirements for use in structural and mechanical engineering applications, providing engineers and manufacturers with a reliable guide for producing and using these essential components in various industrial settings.
