Typically, but not always, md5 results in a 32 character string regardless of what was passed to it.

When would a md5 hash not result in 32 char?

The size of the output can be set to 20 character, 32 character or 40 character depending on some factors. I just read that a few weeks ago. If I can find out where, I will post the link.

PS I asked that same exact question you just asked by the way.
