Sem Washer

[Raymond Freedman]

Areyou looking for a great project to brighten up your early spring garden? If your backyard is still mostly brown (like mine), you will love the bright colours of this washer wind chimes craft for spring! Easy enough for kids to make and beautiful enough to inspire adults!

Have your child choose the colours they want to use, and paint a base coat on all the washers. We chose to stick with 4 main colours: red, orange, pink and yellow, the warm colours of the colour wheel, so it would feel Springlike!

We only painted one side of the washers so that the silver side would shine in the sunlight, but you could do both sides. After the paint was dry, I sprayed the washers with a matte finish waterproofing spray from the local craft store.

Before it was regulated in 1993, automotive windshield washer fluid (AWWF) was a very large source of pollution in California's cities. AWWF contained high levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which are a component of ground-level ozone formation, and one of the main pollutants that compose smog. VOCs are used in AWWF as an anti-freeze which reduces the temperature the fluid will freeze in cold weather. In most areas of California, milder temperatures do not necessitate the use of VOCs for AWWF to wet and clean vehicle windshields. Reducing the amount of VOCs emitted into the atmosphere from consumer products is imperative to California's commitment to cleaner air, to protect public health and the environment. The California Consumer Products Regulation establishes limits on the VOC content of AWWF.

Pre-mixed AWWF that is typically sold in gallon-size containers, labeled "summer formula" or "protects to +32 degrees." The regulation for this type is 1% VOC content, and it can be sold anywhere in California.

Pre-mixed AWWF that is typically sold in gallon-size containers labeled "winter formula", "protects to zero degrees," or something similar. The regulation for this type is 25% VOC content, and it is only allowed to be sold in Type A areas of California.

Dilutable, or Concentrated AWWF, typically sold in 1-quart size containers. The regulation for this type is that it must clearly state on the front label that it is a concentrate, or dilutable, and on the back it must have clear instructions of how to dilute it to Type A area specifications and to non-Type A area specifications. It is available anywhere in California, and is most often found at automotive supply stores and service stations.

For further clarification, pre-mixed AWWF may be sold in containers greater than one quart, but less than 10 gallons. Dilutable AWWF is sold in containers that are one quart or less, or 10 gallons or more. Currently, AWWF sold in Type A areas is limited to 25% VOC, meaning pre-mixed AWWF will have no more than 25% VOC, and dilutable AWWF, when properly diluted, will contain no more than 25% VOC.

Most Type A areas are defined by the county lines. However, in Placer County, the boundary between the Sacramento Valley Air Basin and the Mountain Counties Air Basin is not clearly defined by conventional maps. The boundary is called "Range 9 east, Mount Diablo Baseline & Meridian (M.D.B. & M)*." ZIP codes, in Placer County, east of this boundary is considered a Type A area. For ZIP codes 95602, 95603, and 95631 only the portions that lie east of this boundary are considered Type A areas. For the Meadow Vista ZIP code (95722) the part west of this line is also considered a Type A area.

Figure 1 illustrates the line dividing Type A area and non-Type A area, in Placer County, using a heavy bold line. A lighter bold line is used to delineate Placer County from the Nevada and El Dorado counties. The Range 9 east, M.D.B. & M. line is depicted using a hyphenated line through the Meadow Vista ZIP code and continuing on as the border between Type A and Type A areas in Placer County.

*Range 9 east, M.D.B. & M. can be described as bordered by the Nevada County line to the north, and the El Dorado county line to the south. It is in a rural area between the towns of Auburn to the west, and Applegate to the east. On Interstate 80, it is between Neils Road (Exit 124) and Placer Hills Road (Exit 125).

Yes, there is a three-year sell-through period for properly date-coded AWWF manufactured on or before the finalized date of the Regulation: August 6, 2010. See the Consumer Products Regulation, Section 94512(c) for specific requirements.

Flat washers are engineered to spread the weight of a nut or fastener over a large area. This type of washer will prevent damage to soft surfaces. In addition, a flat washer can be utilized to cover a hole that is too large. We offer a large catalog of flat washers that are available in materials such as stainless steel, brass, nylon, copper, and bronze.

Fender washers feature a large outside diameter that is utilized to help distribute forces that are created when you integrate a nut or bolt. This type of washer is used in the auto and plumbing industries to prevent damage to thin materials. The wide diameter of a fender washer on the exterior of the hole is designed to alleviate force over a larger area when you connect bolts. We offer an expansive selection of fender washers in materials such as low carbon steel and stainless steel.

Belleville washers are designed to maintain a large amount of force with minimal deviation. This type of washer is utilized to reduce thermal expansion and vibration in commercial facilities. Belleville washers are helpful in applications with limited space and heavy loads. The washers in our catalog feature a high spring rate to meet your requirements. Our washers are engineered to create secure connections. We offer belleville washers in materials such as spring steel, bronze, low carbon steel, brass, and stainless steel.

Thrust washers are installed between a moving surface and a stagnant component. This type of washer is designed to assist the axial load on a shaft. In addition, thrust washers are utilized to prevent motion on a shaft. The washers are engineered to be used in motors, pumps, and axle assemblies. We offer a large catalog of thrust washers in materials such as stainless steel, nylon, bronze, and PTFE. The punch presses at our facility are designed to produce a maximum of 400 tons of parts and components.

We offer a large selection of wave spring washers to commercial facilities and technicians. This type of washer features arched sections that are designed to process small and large loads. Wave washers are available with 1 to 4 waves depending on the requirements of your application. However, we can utilize our CNC equipment to produce a spring washer with 5 or more waves. We offer wave spring and flat washers in finishes such as spring steel, beryllium copper, bronze, and stainless steel.

Each of the wave spring washers in our catalog is engineered with consistent arched compartments to ensure the weight is balanced. The density of a spring washer can be decreased by increasing the total amount of waves. To receive assistance with finding a spring or flat washer, give our team a call by phone at (847) 956-1344. We will help you find a part with a correct inner and outer diameter to meet the specifications of your project.

Tab washers are engineered to inhibit the movement of bolts and nuts in applications such as construction, maintenance, and assembly. The clip of a tab washer can be adjusted to secure the nut in a single location. This type of washer is designed to be utilized in environments with high temperatures that feature fluctuation and torque.

Tab washers are equipped with one or more interior and exterior inserts to lock a nut in a location near the bolt. We offer tab and flat washers in a variety of materials such as stainless steel, monel, low carbon steel, aluminum, brass, and spring steel. A tab washer can be integrated with a flat washer to balance the weight and prevent damage to the assembly that the fastener is attached to. If you need help locating a tab washer, give our staff a call to receive support.

A washer is a thin plate (typically disk-shaped, but sometimes square) with a hole (typically in the middle) that is normally used to distribute the load of a threaded fastener, such as a bolt or nut. Other uses are as a spacer, spring (Belleville washer, wave washer), wear pad, preload indicating device, locking device, and to reduce vibration (rubber washer).

Washers are usually metal or plastic. High-quality bolted joints require hardened steel washers to prevent the loss of pre-load due to brinelling after the torque is applied. Washers are also important for preventing galvanic corrosion, particularly by insulating steel screws from aluminium surfaces. They may also be used in rotating applications, as a bearing. A thrust washer is used when a rolling element bearing is not needed either from a cost-performance perspective or due to space restraints. Coatings can be used to reduce wear and friction, either by hardening the surface or by providing a solid lubricant (i.e. a self-lubricating surface).
