Look up the inside diameter, outside diameter and cross-section of any standard AS568 O-ring by dash number, or enter the dimensions you measured and get the closest dash numbers. All 349 standard sizes are in the chart below, in inches and millimetres.
Worked example
These are example values. Change any entry above and press Calculate to run your own numbers.
AS568 dash number
-210
Inside diameter (ID)
0.734 in (18.64 mm)
Cross-section (CS)
0.139 in (3.53 mm)
Outside diameter (OD)
1.012 in (25.7 mm)OD = ID + 2 × CS
Dimensions are nominal: each size has a tolerance that grows with the diameter, so see the maker's data for the limits. Inside diameter and cross-section are what identify the ring; the material and hardness are specified separately.
How it works
An AS568 dash number identifies a standard O-ring by its inside diameter and its cross-section, the thickness of the cord. The first digit of the three-digit number tells you the cross-section series: the 100 series is 0.103 inch (2.62 mm), the 200 series 0.139 inch (3.53 mm), the 300 series 0.210 inch (5.33 mm) and the 400 series 0.275 inch (6.99 mm). Sizes in the 0 series, from -001 to -050, are mostly 0.070 inch (1.78 mm).
Cross-section by series: 0 series 0.070 in (-004 to -050), 100 series 0.103 in, 200 series 0.139 in, 300 series 0.210 in, 400 series 0.275 in
1 inch = 25.4 mm

Nominal dimensions of the standard AS568 sizes, in inches with the millimetre equivalents. Tolerances vary with size; see the O-ring maker’s data for the limits.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a -210 O-ring?
An AS568 -210 O-ring has an inside diameter of 0.734 inch (18.64 mm) and a cross-section of 0.139 inch (3.53 mm), so its outside diameter is 1.012 inch (25.7 mm).
How do I measure an O-ring to find its size?
Measure the inside diameter across the opening, and the cross-section across the thickness of the cord, ideally with calipers and on a ring that is not stretched. Enter both in the finder above and it returns the closest standard dash numbers. A used ring that has swollen or stretched will measure a little larger than a new one.
What do the numbers in the dash number mean?
The three digits are a size code. The first digit gives the cross-section series, so -2xx sizes all have the same cord thickness, and the rest of the number is the rank of the size within the series, from small to large inside diameter. The number does not equal the diameter in any unit.
Is AS568 the same as a metric O-ring?
No. AS568 is an inch series. Metric O-rings (ISO 3601) use whole-millimetre cross-sections such as 2 mm, 3 mm or 5 mm and their own inside diameters. A few sizes are close enough to interchange in a given groove, but check the dimensions rather than assuming.
Does the dash number tell me the material?
No. The dash number is only the size. The material (nitrile, Viton, EPDM, silicone and so on) and the hardness are specified separately, and a seal should be chosen for the fluid, the temperature and the pressure.
