O-rings: inside diameter, cross-section and material

Understand the size and material information needed to identify an O-ring.

Two dimensions identify the basic size

An O-ring is described by its inside diameter and cross-section diameter. State both values and their units. Cross-section is the thickness of the ring itself, not its overall outside diameter. Preserve a standard size or manufacturer part reference if one is available.

Metric sizes and dash numbers

O-ring standards can use different size systems. AS568 uses size-identification dash numbers with defined dimensions and tolerances. Keep the standard name alongside the number, and avoid assuming a nearby metric size is an exact replacement.

Material and hardness

Size alone does not identify the complete O-ring specification. Record the specified material or compound and hardness where available. The manufacturer’s compatibility information relates to the operating environment and material. Colour is insufficient to establish a compound or its suitability.
