Tolerances that are not printed
A row with no ± figure is a size where fewer than two of the published tables carry a tolerance, so none is shown. The outside diameter never carries one: it is the inside diameter plus two cross sections, worked out here rather than read from a table.
Where these figures come from
Dimensions are as defined by SAE AS568B (aerospace size standard for O-rings). This site is an independent reference and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or approved by any standards body.
Each row was checked against at least two of these published tables; the Sources column gives the count for that row:
- AS568B O-ring size chart (Parco Inc.) - Parco, distributed by All Seals Inc., names Aerospace Standard AS568B, 369 standard sizes (read 2026-08-27)
- AS568 O-ring size chart, all dash sizes and tolerances - American Rubber Corporation, edition not stated (read 2026-08-27)
- AS568 standard O-ring size chart - Savvy Rubber, edition not stated (read 2026-08-27)
- AS568 O-ring size chart (dash numbers, inch and mm) - o-ringseal.com, edition not stated (read 2026-08-27)
- AS568 O-ring size conversion with metric O-ring dimensions - Seals Eastern, per-series cross-section tolerances in millimetres (read 2026-08-27)
- O-ring tolerances, AS568 standard - Marco Rubber and Plastics, edition not stated (read 2026-08-27)
Dash numbers -400 to -424: listed as AS568 sizes (as568-arc) against listed as AS568 sizes (as568-savvy) against absent; the 4xx series is stated as -425 to -475 (as568-sealseastern) against absent; the chart is stated to hold all 369 AS568B sizes (as568-parco). Both readings are kept. The 25 sizes are published here because two catalogues carry them with matching dimensions, and each is marked as sitting outside the AS568B list rather than being passed off as a standard size. If you are writing a drawing to AS568B, the 4xx series starts at -425.
The 4xx inside diameters in one catalogue: -446 ID 8.475 in (as568-parco) against -446 ID 8.225 in (as568-oringseal). One catalogue's 4xx block is shifted against the other three from about -446 onward, so its inside diameters there belong to neighbouring dash numbers. The figures printed on this site are the ones the other three agree on. The shift is recorded because it is exactly the kind of error a single-source table hides.
AS568-391 inside diameter tolerance: plus or minus 0.095 in (as568-arc) against plus or minus 0.1 in (as568-parco). No figure is printed. The sources give different tolerances and nothing breaks the tie, so the cell is left empty rather than filled from one chart.
