GI WASHER

A GI washer, also known as a galvanized iron washer, is a flat disc-shaped metal component typically made from galvanized iron or steel. It is used in conjunction with a bolt or a nut to provide a smooth and even distribution of load and pressure when fastening objects together.

The galvanized iron washer is coated with a layer of zinc to enhance its corrosion resistance and durability. This galvanized coating helps protect the washer from rust and ensures its longevity, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

GI washers are available in various sizes, thicknesses, and shapes, including flat washers and spring washers. Flat washers are used to evenly distribute the load and prevent damage to the surface being fastened, while spring washers provide a spring-like tension that helps maintain the tightness of the fastened connection, even under vibration or movement.

Galvanized iron washers are commonly used in construction, automotive, plumbing, and various industrial applications. They are versatile components that play a critical role in providing stability, reducing friction, and ensuring secure and reliable fastenings. The galvanized coating on the GI washer enhances its performance and longevity in demanding environments.
