9、rdization of bolts,screws,nuts,rivets,and similar fasteners was organized in March 1922 as Sectional Committee B18 under the aegis of the American Engineering Standards Committee(later the American Standards Association,then the United States of America Standards Institute and as of October 6,1969,t
10、he American National Standards Institute,Incorporated),with the Society of Automotive Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers as joint sponsors.Subcommittee 22 was subsequently established and charged with the responsibility for technical content of standards covering flat washers
11、.I n early 1976,the Subcommittee was directed to develop a new standard for metric general purpose flat washers.The first draft was based on work done by a 1975176 SAE“ad hoc”washer task force.The SAE objective,and subsequently the Subcommittee 22 objective,was to provide a standard compatible with
12、metric bolt standards and to avoid deficiencies of the existing inch standard which had historically fostered specialty washers.Improvements were to include closer ID to bolt shank clearance for maximum bearing area,least number of OD incre-ments in rational proportion to ID,slightly increased thick
13、nesses with minimum tolerance,and defined geometric form variability.IS0 general purpose flat washer standards and draft standards were carefully reviewed dur-ing the development of this Standard.However,due to differences in philosophy regarding flat washer manufacture and use,very few IS0 recommen
14、ded sizes could be accommodated.This Standard was approved by letter ballot of Committee B18,with all negatives resolved at the 318 general meeting of May 20,1981.It was subsequently approved by the secretariat and submitted to the American National Standards Institute for designation as an American
15、 National Standkd.This designation was granted on September 2 1,198 1.NOTE The reprint of 5/98 incorporates corrections specified in an errata sheet issued previously (item number L0063E).Corrections are indicated by 5/98 in the margin.iii Copyrighted material licensed to Stanford University by Thom
