O-ring standards

AS568 vs ISO 3601 O-Ring Sizes

AS568 and ISO 3601-1 can appear similar in catalogs, but the designation, class and tolerance context matter. Use dimensions to compare; do not infer interchangeability from rounding alone.

The ISO row shown above is from this site's verified ISO 3601 subset. It is not presented as a direct equivalent of AS568-214.

AS568

US-origin dash-number sizing system used widely in aerospace and industrial sealing catalogs.

ISO 3601-1

International O-ring standard defining dimensions, tolerances and designation requirements. Class and application context matter.

Best practice

Compare the actual drawing/specification, nominal ID and CS, tolerance requirements and gland geometry before substituting one designation for another.
