## AS568-318 Dimensions and Tolerances

| Dimension | Inch | Millimetre |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Inside diameter (ID) | 0.9750 | 24.770 |
| Cross-section (CS) | 0.2100 | 5.330 |
| Outside diameter (OD) | 1.3950 | 35.430 |
| ID tolerance | ±0.0098 | ±0.250 |
| CS tolerance | ±0.0051 | ±0.130 |

_Outside diameter is computed as ID + 2 × CS; AS568 tabulates ID and CS._

## Gland Design for AS568-318

Static gland dimensions for the 0.210 in cross-section. Depth is the groove depth that produces the stated squeeze on a nominal ring.

| Application | Squeeze | Squeeze (in) | Gland depth (in) | Gland depth (mm) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Static face seal | 21–30% | 0.0441 – 0.0630 | 0.1470 – 0.1659 | 3.734 – 4.214 |

_Gland depth is computed as CS − (CS × squeeze %), then checked against the published design charts. Groove width, corner radius and back-up ring allowances are outside this dataset._

## Sources and Method for AS568-318

### AS568 dimensions

- **Source**: 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
- **Method**: computed+compiled
- **Verified against**: two independent open datasets agreeing on all 349 sizes; fabricated-dataset negative control passed; 21 checks total

### Gland design

- **Source**: 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%
- **Method**: computed
- **Verified against**: computed depth band brackets the published design-chart band for every series

### Assumptions

- Dimensions are for a nominal, unstretched ring at room temperature. Installed stretch reduces cross-section.
- Gland figures are static-application only and assume a nominal ring; they carry no compound, temperature or pressure assumption.
- 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.
