DIN 6916 is a standard that specifies the requirements for structural washers. These washers are designed to provide a larger bearing surface and distribute the load over a wider area, thereby increasing the stability and strength of the connection. They are commonly used in applications where high loads and vibrations are expected, such as in construction, machinery, and automotive industries. The DIN 6916 standard ensures that these washers meet the necessary dimensions, material properties, and performance criteria to ensure reliable and safe connections. By adhering to this standard, manufacturers can ensure the quality and compatibility of their structural washers with other components in various applications.
