DIN 434 Square Beveled Washer (8%) for Channels — A2 Stainless Steel (SUS304), Whitened & Passivated
FULLERKREG DIN 434 square beveled washers are manufactured to DIN 434 standard in A2 stainless steel (SUS304 / 1.4301 / 0Cr18Ni9) with a whitened and passivated surface finish. DIN 434 is a square taper washer with an 8% bevel (approximately 4.6°) specifically designed for use with steel channels (UPN / UPE / C-sections). The tapered profile compensates for the natural inward slope of the channel flange, ensuring the bolt head or nut bears flat and evenly against the washer surface — eliminating bending stress on the bolt shank and preventing uneven load distribution. Two grooves run the full length of the washer to accommodate the channel flange radius. A2 stainless steel provides excellent general corrosion resistance, non-magnetic properties, and food-safe compliance.

Why Beveled Washers Are Required for Channels
-
Channel flange taper: Standard UPN/UPE channel flanges have an inward slope of approximately 8%. Without a beveled washer, the bolt head or nut bears on an angled surface, creating bending stress in the bolt shank and uneven load distribution
-
Flat bearing surface: DIN 434’s 8% bevel compensates the flange slope, ensuring the bolt head/nut bears flat — eliminating bending stress and ensuring full clamping force is applied axially
-
Groove accommodation: Two full-length grooves on the washer underside accommodate the channel flange radius, ensuring correct seating
-
Structural integrity: Required by structural engineering standards for bolted channel connections to ensure correct bolt behavior and joint performance

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is DIN 434?
A: DIN 434 is a square taper washer with an 8% bevel (approx. 4.6°) designed for use with steel channels (UPN/UPE/C-sections). The tapered profile compensates the natural inward slope of the channel flange, ensuring the bolt head or nut bears flat and evenly, eliminating bending stress on the bolt shank.
Q: What is the difference between DIN 434 and DIN 435?
A: DIN 434 (8% bevel) is designed for steel channels (UPN/UPE) with a shallower flange taper. DIN 435 (14% bevel) is designed for I-beams and H-beams (IPE/HEA/HEB) with a steeper flange taper. Always match the washer bevel to the section type.
Q: Why is a beveled washer required for channel connections?
A: Channel flanges have an inward slope of approximately 8%. Without a beveled washer, the bolt bears on an angled surface, creating bending stress in the bolt shank and reducing clamping efficiency. DIN 434 compensates this slope for correct structural bolt behavior.
Q: Do you provide material test certificates?
A: Yes. Mill certificates, chemical composition reports, and dimensional inspection reports are available upon request.
