What size is an AS568-142 o-ring?

An AS568-142 o-ring has an inside diameter of 2.3620 in (59.990 mm) and a cross-section of 0.1030 in (2.620 mm), giving an outside diameter of 2.5680 in (65.230 mm).

What is an AS568-142 o-ring in mm?

59.990 mm inside diameter × 2.620 mm cross-section, 65.230 mm outside diameter. AS568 is an inch standard, so these are exact conversions rather than metric nominal sizes.

What is the tolerance on an AS568-142 o-ring?

AS568 allows ± 0.0201 in (± 0.510 mm) on the inside diameter and ± 0.0031 in (± 0.080 mm) on the cross-section, measured free-state.

What groove depth does an AS568-142 o-ring need?

For face seal, static service, a gland depth of 0.0721 to 0.0824 in (1.831 to 2.093 mm), which gives 20–30% squeeze on the 0.1030 in cross-section. Groove width and corner radius come from the seal manufacturer's chart.

Which AS568 series is the AS568-142 o-ring in?

Dash 142 is in the 102-178 band — AS568 3/32 in series, a 0.103 in cross-section. Every size in that band shares the same cross-section and therefore the same gland depth.

AS568-142 O-Ring Dimensions and Tolerances

An AS568 o-ring is specified by its inside diameter and cross-section; the outside diameter follows from them. Tolerances are the AS568 free-state limits, measured uninstalled.

AS568-142 o-ring — inside diameter, cross-section and outside diameter with tolerances
Dimension	Inch	Millimetre
Inside diameter (ID)	2.3620 ± 0.0201	59.990 ± 0.510
Cross-section (CS / W)	0.1030 ± 0.0031	2.620 ± 0.080
Outside diameter (OD)	2.5680	65.230

OD = ID + 2 × CS. Elastomer parts are measured free-state and relax over time; the tolerances above are manufacturing limits, not the installed dimensions.

AS568-142 O-Ring Size in Millimetres

AS568 is an inch standard. These are the same dimensions converted exactly (1 in = 25.4 mm) — an AS568 size is not interchangeable with an ISO 3601 metric size that happens to be close.

AS568-142 o-ring — metric dimensions
Dimension	Inch	Millimetre
Nominal ID × CS	2.3620 × 0.1030 in	59.990 × 2.620 mm
Nominal OD × CS	2.5680 × 0.1030 in	65.230 × 2.620 mm

Metric figures are conversions of the AS568 inch dimensions, rounded to 0.01 mm as the source data carries them. A metric o-ring called out as 25 × 3.5 mm is a different part.

Static Gland Depth for a AS568-142 O-Ring

Squeeze and gland depth for the 0.103 in cross-section band this size belongs to, from MIL-G-5514G. Depth is what the groove is cut to; squeeze is what the ring gives up to seal.

Static gland squeeze and depth for the 102-178 cross-section series
Property	Squeeze		Gland depth
Application	%	in	in	mm
Face seal, static	20–30	0.0206–0.0309	0.0721–0.0824	1.831–2.093

Static applications only — this reference carries no verified squeeze band for dynamic (reciprocating or rotary) service, so none is shown. Groove width, corner radius, diametral clearance and back-up ring dimensions are outside the verified dataset and must come from the seal manufacturer's design chart.

AS568 O-Ring Sizes Closest to AS568-142

Ordered by how close the inside diameter is, across every cross-section series. A near-ID match in a different cross-section will not seal the same gland.

AS568-333	2.4750	62.870	0.2100	2.8950	+2.880

Check the cross-section before substituting: the gland depth is set by cross-section, not by inside diameter.

Sources and Method for the AS568-142 O-Ring Size

Size and tolerancescomputed+compiled

bd_warehouse o-ring_parameters.csv (Apache-2.0) and bckasper3/KasperCalc oring-sizes.js (MIT), agreeing on all 349 sizes; OD computed as ID + 2 x CS

Verified against two independent open datasets agreeing on all 349 sizes; fabricated-dataset negative control passed; 21 checks total

Part computed from the standard's formulas, part compiled from agreeing public sources.

Gland designcomputed

MIL-G-5514G (public domain) gland design criteria; squeeze-percentage bands cross-read from Parker O-Ring Handbook ORD-5700 Design Charts 4-2/4-3 (verification only); depth = CS - CS x squeeze%

Verified against computed depth band brackets the published design-chart band for every series

Computed from the standard's formulas, then checked against published tables.

Formula

Outside diameter

OD  =  ID + 2 × CS

  2.3620 + 2 × 0.1030  =  2.5680 in

Gland depth from squeeze

depth  =  CS − (CS × squeeze%)

Squeeze percentage bands are the MIL-G-5514G static criteria; the depth column is that percentage applied to the nominal cross-section.

Assumptions

Dimensions are free-state, at room temperature, before installation.
Tolerances are AS568 manufacturing limits. Compression set, swell in service fluid and thermal expansion all move the installed dimensions and are properties of the compound, not of the size.
Gland figures are for static service only. MIL-G-5514G is inactive for new design and is used here as a public-domain source for the static squeeze bands.
Dataset scope: A fabricated-dataset negative control is asserted against on every run. EXCLUDED: groove width, corner radius, diametral clearance, back-up ring widths, surface finish, all dynamic glands, the 900-series, and ISO 3601 metric sizes.
