Definition

O rings are commonly used components which are used in wide range of industrial equipment. These are available in various sizes and shapes as per the requirements and are manufactured as per the globally recognized industrial standards. The most common and popular standard for describing O ring size is AS568 which is used in United States and is published by S.A.E. (Society of Automotive Engineers). It specifies O ring sizes as “Inch sizes”.

Explanation

O ring sizes can be described by various O ring standard size charts used across the globe. Each size chart shows O ring sizes as per there country norms and industrial specifications.

O ring sizes as per some of the common size charts are shown below:
