GB/T 93-2025 Table 1: all 24 sizes (1.6–48 mm)
Every value is taken from GB/T 93-2025 Fasteners — Single coil spring lock washers — Normal type, Table 1 (PDF pages 8–9 = text pages 2–3), in millimetres. d = inner diameter; S(b) = the section dimension column of Table 1, quoted here exactly as the standard writes it, with no symbol conversion (GB/T 859-2025, the light series, splits S and b into separate columns — the two standards have different dimension tables and cannot be cited interchangeably); H = free height; m ≤ = the upper limit of m in Table 1. Sizes in parentheses ((14) / (18) / (22) / (27) / (33) / (39) / (45)) are the non-preferred sizes listed in the standard's table note.

The bracketed sizes ((14) / (18) / (22) / (27) / (33) / (39) / (45)) are non-preferred; size 1.6 is new in this 2025 edition, and this edition also changed some d dimensions.
Clickable sizes in the first column are the 10 sizes we quote (M3 / M4 / M5 / M6 / M8 / M10 / M12 / M16 / M20 / M24) — open one to see its outer diameter and unit weight. For every other size this page gives the standard dimensions only and no weight: without a weight coefficient we do not invent a figure.

M24 and the other 9 sizes: outer diameter, thickness coefficient and unit weight (catalogue basis)
Outer diameter D and thickness coefficient t come from the product catalogue weight coefficients (spec_json.weightCalc: method = washer_formula, version = v2, formula = ring_area*thickness); the unit weight is recomputed with the identical parameters and formula π/4·(D²−d²)·t·ρ, with d at the nominal diameter and ρ = 7.85 g/cm³ for carbon steel (304 / 316L follow the density table below). The figures are the catalogue's rounded_g basis (1 decimal below 1 g, whole grams at 1 g and above) — the same numbers used on the product pages and in quotations.

Edition difference: our catalogue coefficients vs GB/T 93-2025 Table 1 (size by size)
GB/T 93-2025 has replaced GB/T 93—1987 (issued 2025-10-31, effective 2026-02-01) and its Table 1 does not include an outer diameter column. Below, the catalogue coefficients (outer diameter D × thickness coefficient t) sit next to the matching Table 1 columns: thickness difference = our t − Table 1 S(b) nominal; weight difference = our ring area uses the nominal bore (12 mm for M12) while Table 1 gives the inner diameter as a range (12.2–12.7 mm for M12) — a smaller bore makes the ring area larger, so our unit weight runs above a Table 1 inner-diameter basis; the spread is computed at both ends of the range (d min / d max). The table only describes the relation between the two bases: nothing is changed in the catalogue, and our coefficients are never presented as Table 1 values.
| Size | Our D × t | Table 1 S(b) nom. | Thickness diff. | Table 1 d range | Our unit weight vs a Table 1 inner-diameter basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M3 | 5.1 × 0.8 | 0.8 | same | 3.1–3.4 | +3.7% – +17.7% |
| M4 | 6.8 × 0.9 | 1.1 | -0.2 mm | 4.1–4.4 | +2.8% – +12.5% |
| M5 | 8.8 × 1.2 | 1.3 | -0.1 mm | 5.1–5.4 | +2% – +8.6% |
| M6 | 11.8 × 1.6 | 1.6 | same | 6.1–6.5 | +1.2% – +6.4% |

| M16 | 27.4 × 4 | 4.1 | -0.1 mm | 16.2–16.8 | +1.3% – +5.6% |
| M20 | 33.6 × 5 | 5 | same | 20.2–21 | +1.1% – +6% |

How to use it: quotations, freight and packing go by the catalogue basis (estimate, not an inspection figure); dimensional verification against GB/T 93-2025 Table 1 goes by the first table above. The gap between the two is exactly what this table lists, size by size — no manual back-calculation needed.
Material density conversion
Three material options are quoted (carbon steel / 304 / 316L): the unit weights above are on the carbon steel basis, and other materials scale by the density ratio (weight × factor). GB/T 93-2025 groups materials in Table 2 as spring steel / stainless steel / phosphor bronze, and that table is identical in GB/T 859-2025 — it cannot tell the normal type from the light type; the only dividing lines are Table 1 dimensions and the range limit.
| Material | Density (g/cm³) | Factor vs carbon steel |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon steel / spring steel | 7.85 | ×1.000 |
| Stainless 304 | 7.93 | ×1.010 |
| Stainless 316L | 7.98 | ×1.017 |
Anti-loosening limits: washer spread with 10.9 / 12.9 property classes
GB/T 93-2025 carries this note in its scope (PDF page 7 = text page 1): where the spring lock washers specified in this document are used with bolts and screws of property classes 10.9 and 12.9, attention should be paid to the washer spreading (opening-up) phenomenon.
That is a caution stated by the standard, not a prohibition for classes 10.9 / 12.9 — spring washers can still be used, but a high-strength joint carries high preload and the washer may open up radially, changing the fit and the clamping state. In practice: (1) check bolt torque against the target preload (our torque chart for the same size gives ranges by the K-factor method); (2) where the spreading risk is high, use or add another locking method (all-metal prevailing torque nuts, threadlocker, double nuts, other elastic washers), chosen by the designer from the joint load and vibration duty; (3) surface defects follow Table 2 — cracks, rust and harmful dents, scratches and burrs are not permitted. We publish no spring or clamping force figures: GB/T 93-2025 gives none, so any force derived from dimensions or grade would not be a standard value.

Two kinds of figures, two sources, marked column by column. (1) The standard dimension columns (d / S(b) / H / m) are taken value by value from GB/T 93-2025 Table 1 (PDF pages 8–9) and carried in utils/springWasherCalc.ts; the check script ops/tools/gen-spring-washer-chart-data.mjs --check re-parses the distilled fact layer and compares every cell (9 columns × 24 sizes, all equal). (2) The weight column and the 10 outer diameter / thickness coefficients come from the product catalogue, MySQL prd_sku.spec_json.weightCalc (method = washer_formula, version = v2, formula = ring_area*thickness, confidence = estimate): the recomputed raw_g and rounded_g match all 53 SW- SKUs in the catalogue exactly. This page copies nothing beyond those standard table values and does not use the dimension table of GB/T 859 (light type).
Limits: (1) the dimensions here are standard table values, not a measurement of the parts in your hands — cite them as "per GB/T 93-2025 Table 1, size N has d …, S(b) nominal …, H …, m ≤ …" and never as our measured product data; (2) the weights are quotation estimates (quoting, freight, packing), while real unit weight varies with chamfers, the split shape and coating (hot-dip galvanising about +4.5%) — settle on actual weighing; (3) our weights use the nominal bore, and the gap versus the Table 1 inner-diameter range is listed in the edition-difference table, so no manual correction is needed; (4) sizes we do not quote (1.6 / 2 / 2.5 / 14 / 18 / 22 / 27 / 30 / 33 / 36 / 39 / 42 / 45 / 48) carry standard dimensions only and no weight — no coefficient, no figure; ask for a quote by standard and size; (5) this page publishes no spring force, clamping force or test load figures — GB/T 93-2025 gives none, and elasticity, torsion and hydrogen embrittlement resistance are referenced to GB/T 94.1.
Frequently asked questions
What are the inner and outer diameters of a M24 spring washer?
Per GB/T 93-2025 Table 1, a M24 normal-type spring lock washer has inner diameter d 24.3–25.3 mm, section S(b) nominal 6 mm, free height H 12–15 mm and m ≤ 3 mm. The outer diameter is not in that table: the 40 mm given here is our catalogue coefficient (the same figure as on the product pages and the weight calculator), not a Table 1 value. What matters at assembly is that the bore clears the bolt and that thickness and free height leave room for the preload travel.
Why is the inner diameter given as a range such as 24.3–25.3?
Because Table 1 gives limits: the bore has to pass over the thread major diameter of the bolt or screw while keeping enough bearing area, so the standard states a minimum and a maximum rather than one number. For M24 that is 24.3 mm at the low end and 25.3 mm at the high end — the upper limit keeps it fitting, the lower limit keeps the contact face from being weakened. A part measuring inside the range is fine; outside it is out of tolerance.
Our unit weight differs from what I get from the Table 1 dimensions — why?
Two different bases. Our weight uses the catalogue coefficients (outer diameter 40 mm × thickness coefficient 6 mm) in π/4·(D²−d²)·t·ρ with the bore at the nominal diameter, while Table 1 gives the inner diameter as the range 24.3–25.3 mm. A smaller bore means a larger ring area, so our unit weight sits above a Table 1 inner-diameter basis, and the edition-difference table above gives the spread size by size. It is a basis difference, not an error: quotations follow our basis, dimensional verification against the standard follows Table 1.
Can a M24 spring washer be used in a 10.9 / 12.9 property class joint?
GB/T 93-2025 says in its scope note: where used with bolts and screws of property classes 10.9 and 12.9, attention should be paid to the washer spreading phenomenon — attention, not prohibition. A high-strength joint carries high preload and the washer may open up radially, changing the fit and clamping state, so in practice you check torque against the target preload and, where needed, switch to or add another locking method, decided by the designer from the joint load and vibration duty. We publish no spring or clamping force figures, and GB/T 93-2025 gives none either.
Should a spring washer be used together with a flat washer?
A common arrangement adds a flat washer between the part and the spring washer: it gives the spring washer a flat bearing face, spreads the load and reduces damage to the joint surface. The cost is one more interface that could move and a little extra stack height, so the choice belongs to the designer. Our washer weight chart gives flat and spring washers side by side for the same size (the spring washer row there follows the calculator's internal dimension basis; the gap versus this page's catalogue coefficients is listed in the edition-difference table).
Do you quote 1.6 / 2 / 2.5 / 14 / 18 / 22 and the other sizes?
This page and our size pages cover the 10 sizes we quote (M3 / M4 / M5 / M6 / M8 / M10 / M12 / M16 / M20 / M24). For the remaining Table 1 sizes (1.6 / 2 / 2.5 / (14) / (18) / (22) / (27) / 30 / (33) / 36 / (39) / 42 / (45) / 48) this page gives standard dimensions only and no weight — no coefficient, no figure. Send the standard number and size for a quote and we will price to the GB/T 93-2025 size basis.
