circular washer vs plain washer

In the days before parametric modeling, on the board or ACAD flat washers were easy. since 3D modeling particularly IV hardware has become a pain to specify. Today's question is whats the difference between circular washers and plain washers, not getting anything from google and i don't have either my machinery's or my american machinist hand books with me right to look up to see if they list anything. This is more of an educational question than anything else.

thanks

Looks like plain also covers type A and B, with B being the thicker option washers.

With circular only being type A washers. Both are listed as ANSI but have different ASTM numbers. After seeing this i would say that the circular are the Home Depot style common washers and that the Plain are what i get from Mcmaster Carr and Fasenal as they offer both type A and B washers types.

Thanks as i never caught this before.
