## Need insulating fibre washers in a size this table does not list?

This page covers M10 insulating fibre washers. Bearing area is usually the reason for a special washer: a larger outside diameter to spread load into a softer material, or a thicker section to resist dishing. Made by stamping or punching.

Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.

## Applications & Industries for M10 Insulating Fibre Washers

The sectors that buy Insulating Fibre Washers, and the duty each one buys them for. Stocked from M3 to M10 (nominal bolt size).

### Industries that specify Insulating Fibre Washers

- **Food & pharma equipment:** Non-marking, non-contaminating washers in washdown areas.
- **Electrical & electronics:** Insulating and isolating fixings in panels and boards.
- **Chemical & process:** Chemically resistant seating under a fastener.
- **Machine building & OEM:** Setting bearing area on soft alloy, plastic and oversized holes.
- **Timber & construction:** Large-diameter washers that stop pull-through in softer material.
- **Rotating & vibrating plant:** Spring, tooth and wedge types that maintain or lock bolt tension.

### Typical applications

- protecting a soft or finished surface under a head
- insulating a fastener electrically from the panel
- separating dissimilar metals to break a galvanic cell
- maintaining bolt tension in a joint that settles
- spreading clamp load over a soft or oversized bearing face
- protecting a painted or plated surface under a turned nut

### Service conditions to specify against

- **Marine and coastal:** Available in A4 (316) stainless for chloride exposure — coastal structures, pool halls, water treatment and deck hardware, where A2 will eventually pit.
- **Hardness matters:** Under a high-strength bolt a soft washer embeds into the joint and preload is lost — specify a hardened washer for structural bolting.

Inside the plant

## Manufactured in our own plant

This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.

1. ![Wire rod feeding into a cold heading machine](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/09-wire-rod-feed-cold-heading-machine.webp) 01 **Cold heading** Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail. Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.
2. ![Thread rolling machine producing bolt threads](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/03-thread-rolling-machine-bolt-production.webp) 02 **Thread rolling** Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch. Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.
3. ![Baskets of bolts staged for heat treatment](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/05-heat-treatment-baskets-black-bolts.webp) 03 **Heat treatment** Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it. Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.
4. ![Zinc plated bolts in a treatment basket](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/23-zinc-plated-bolts-treatment-basket.webp) 04 **Surface treatment** Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list. Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What clearance and tapping drill suit M10?

Use a 11 mm clearance hole (ISO 273 medium) for through-fixing, or a 8.5 mm tapping drill for a coarse M10 thread.

### Which washer dimensions matter most for M10?

For a flat washer, the outside diameter (the bearing surface) and the thickness control how the load is spread under the head and how much elastic preload is preserved. The inside diameter must clear the bolt body but not be so large that the head bears mostly on the washer's outer rim.

### What is the coarse-thread pitch of M10 for Insulating Fibre Washers?

For M10 the standard coarse pitch is 1.5 mm — this is the value used for Insulating Fibre Washers.
