AS568 standard size, dash -393
AS568-393 O-ring: 23.940 in ID x 0.210 in cross-section
AS568-393 is the AS568 dash 393 O-ring size. It has a 23.940 in (608.08 mm) inside diameter and a 0.210 in (5.33 mm) cross-section, which gives a 24.360 in (618.74 mm) outside diameter as a reference. AS568 controls the inside diameter and the cross-section; the outside diameter is derived.

Document statuses are read from DLA ASSIST and SAE Mobilus (read 2026-09-24). This table carries no durometer; the document sets it.
To quote it, send the designator exactly as the print reads, with its revision and any suffix letter. Parts are supplied against the document named and quoted in the compound the print calls out. MS28774-393 is the single-turn scarf-cut PTFE back-up ring on this dash and MS27595-393 the solid one, both under SAE AS8791; the double-turn MS28782 rings run their own numbering, so send that number as printed.
- MIL-P-25732 and MIL-DTL-25732 are older prefixes of the same document; SAE AMS-P-25732 is the parallel material specification.
- M83485/1 is a low-temperature fluorocarbon, not a fluorosilicone; manufacturers now build the part to AMS7287.
- The M25988 slash sheet carries the class and grade; the base document carries the qualification list.
- Manufacturer cross-references flag MS29513 and MS29512 sizes over 0.500 in ID as tighter than AS568 tolerance; the drawing governs.
- An A suffix on a NAS1611 or NAS1612 number is used by manufacturers for a compound qualified to NAS1613 Revision 6; sizes over 0.500 in ID run tighter than AS568 tolerance.
- MS9068 is cross-referenced to AMS3304 by manufacturers; its document status is not verified here.
- The 4 prefix plus the AS568 dash is the X-ring numbering convention; availability by dash is the maker's list.

Above 1500 psi the published guidance adds anti-extrusion rings (SAE AS4716: one or two above 1500 psi). These are guideline figures, not the standard's text; the groove design guide walks through the choices.
