Understanding the Importance of Dimensional Measurements in Nut Manufacturing and Quality Control
1. Width Across Flats (WAF) This dimension refers to the distance across the opposite flat sides of the nut. Heavy hex nuts have a larger WAF than regular hex nuts, which increases their grip and load distribution.
When it comes to selecting the right flat washer for your project, it is crucial to consider the dimensions of the washer. Flat washers are commonly used to distribute the load of a threaded fastener, such as a bolt or nut, and provide a smooth surface for the fastener to tighten against.
