This page covers M8 Flat Washers to ISO 7089 / ISO 7093: the full dimensional row, hole and tool sizes, proof-load data and typical applications. All values are taken from the governing standards (ISO 7089 / ISO 7093 together with ISO 273, ISO 724 and ISO 898-1 where applicable).
M8 Dimensional Row (ISO 7089 / ISO 7093)
| For bolt size | Inner diameter d1 min (mm) | Outer diameter d2 max (mm) | Thickness h (mm) | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M8 | 8.4 | 16.0 | 1.6 | ISO 7089 |

Mating Parts for M8
A M8 flat washer pairs with a M8 bolt/screw and matching M8 nut.
When to Step Up or Down from M8
When the joint preload approaches the proof load of M8 class 8.8, step up to M10 class 8.8 (or move to M8 class 10.9). When the joint is over-specified, M6 often saves weight and cost without losing the safety margin.
