Q: What makes Brass DIN 125 Washers different from standard washers? A: DIN 125 Brass Washers are manufactured to precise German engineering standards (Deutsches Institut für Normung), ensuring consistent dimensions and load-bearing capabilities. The Brass material offers superior corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and an attractive appearance compared to steel washers, making them ideal for specialized applications where these properties are essential.
Q: Are these Brass washers suitable for outdoor applications? A: Absolutely. Our DIN 125 Brass Washers excel in outdoor environments due to their exceptional resistance to corrosion, particularly in coastal areas with salt spray exposure. The natural oxide layer that forms on Brass provides additional protection without compromising functionality, ensuring long-term performance in challenging weather conditions.
Q: Can I use DIN 125 Brass Washers with stainless steel fasteners? A: While technically possible, we recommend using compatible Brass fasteners with our DIN 125 Brass Washers to prevent galvanic corrosion that can occur between dissimilar metals. If your application requires mixing metals, consider applying appropriate protective coatings or using isolation techniques to minimize potential electrolytic reactions in moist environments.
Q: What are the dimensional tolerances for your DIN 125 Brass Washers? A: Our DIN 125 Brass Washers are manufactured to tight tolerances with inside diameter variations of ±0.1mm, outside diameter tolerances of ±0.2mm, and thickness tolerances of ±0.05mm. These precise specifications ensure consistent fit and function across all applications requiring metric fastener compatibility.
Q: Are DIN 125 Brass Washers electrically conductive? A: Yes, DIN 125 Brass Washers provide excellent electrical conductivity, making them ideal for electrical connections, grounding applications, and electronic assemblies where conductivity is essential. Their reliable performance in electrical systems is one of the primary advantages of choosing Brass over other washer materials.
Q: Do you offer custom sizes beyond the standard DIN 125 specifications? A: Yes, we can produce custom-sized Brass Washers beyond standard DIN 125 dimensions for specialized applications. Our manufacturing capabilities allow us to create custom inside diameters, outside diameters, and thicknesses to match your exact requirements. Please contact our engineering team with your specifications for a custom solution.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity for DIN 125 Brass Washers? A: For standard DIN 125 Brass Washer sizes, we offer flexible ordering options with minimum quantities starting at 100 pieces. For larger projects, we provide volume discounts on quantities of 1,000+ pieces. Custom-sized Brass Washers may require slightly higher minimum orders depending on specifications.
Q: How do DIN 125 Brass Washers compare to DIN 9021 washers? A: DIN 125 Brass Washers are standard flat washers with normal outside diameters, while DIN 9021 washers (now ISO 7093) have significantly larger outside diameters to distribute load over a greater surface area. Our DIN 125 Brass Washers provide the optimal balance between load distribution and material efficiency for most standard applications.
Q: Are these Brass washers suitable for plumbing applications? A: Yes, our DIN 125 Brass Washers are widely used in plumbing systems due to their excellent corrosion resistance, compatibility with Brass plumbing components, and resistance to dezincification in water exposure. They maintain their integrity in both hot and cold water applications, making them ideal for plumbing fixtures, pumps, and water distribution systems.
Q: How should I store DIN 125 Brass Washers to maintain their condition? A: For optimal longevity, store DIN 125 Brass Washers in a clean, dry environment away from chemicals and acids that might tarnish or corrode the Brass. For long-term storage, consider using vapor corrosion inhibitor packaging or applying a light coating of protective oil to prevent oxidation and maintain the bright finish of the Brass components.
