It's important to know about the weight chart of washers through accurate bill of materials (BOM) tonnage calculations, freight estimates, and supplier quote verification; reliable and standard-compliant washer weight data. This document details a comprehensive washer weight chart of verified reference weights in kg of flat, plain, spring, heavy and structural washers produced to international standards like IS, BS, DIN, ASTM, etc. For standard sizing in metric (mm) and imperial (inch), or to calculate unit weight for high-performance alloys (like stainless steel, Duplex, Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy and Titanium), see our detailed material multiplier guidelines.

Washer weight depends mainly on the washer's dimensions and material density. For procurement, BOM preparation, and freight planning, the nominal size alone is not enough to determine an accurate weight. The outer diameter (OD), inner diameter (ID), thickness, and material grade should be considered together.
The theoretical weight of a plain annular washer can be estimated by calculating its ring-shaped volume and multiplying it by the material density:
Volume (V) = π/4 × (OD² − ID²) × T
Weight (W) = V × ρ
A standard IS 2016 M12 carbon steel washer weighs about 0.627 kg per 100 pieces, or 6.27 g per piece.
No. Stainless steel washers are slightly heavier because SS 304 and SS 316 have a density of about 8.00 g/cm³, compared with 7.85 g/cm³ for carbon steel.
Spring washers generally weigh 30% to 60% less than equivalent plain washers because of their different shape and material usage.
IS/BS washer charts show weight in kg per 100 pieces, while ASTM F436 imperial charts show weight in kg per piece.
Yes. Bulk washer orders are supplied with EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Certificates covering material and relevant product properties.
