AS568 O-Rings

Standard O-Rings are available in 369 sizes as set up by the Aerospace Standard 568 published by the Society of Automotive Engineers. These sizes are designated by dash numbers shown on the 568 DASH Chart and are standardized by imperial dimensions. Standard O-Rings are specified by their inside diameter and cross section width. AS568 is the most commonly used standard in the U.S. for aerospace, automotive and general industrial applications. For more information, please see: Common O-Ring Materials, Comparison Properties Chart, Material Shelf Life, and O-ring Groove Design Chart.

The O-ring is the most widely used seal in the industry. It is easy to install, may be used as a double-acting seal and can seal pressures of up to 800 PSI. With pressures over 800 to 2,000 PSI, backup rings should be considered for higher pressures.

The o-ring is typically used as a reciprocating seal, not for rotating shaft applications (Lip seals should be used for rotating shafts). O-rings are typically sized by their inside diameter and cross section, and are further specified by the type of compound used. For O-ring sizes other than standard sizes, specify the actual dimensions desired for the inside diameter (I.D.) and the cross section (W). There may be a tooling charge for such non-standards
