AS568 standard size, dash -906
AS568-906 O-ring: 0.468 in ID x 0.078 in cross-section
AS568-906 is the AS568 dash 906 O-ring size. It has a 0.468 in (11.89 mm) inside diameter and a 0.078 in (1.98 mm) cross-section, which gives a 0.624 in (15.85 mm) outside diameter as a reference. AS568 controls the inside diameter and the cross-section; the outside diameter is derived.

Mil-spec and AMS callouts for AS568-906
AS568-906 is the dash number the military and SAE part standards below use for this same nominal size. The document sets the compound; the dash sets the nominal dimensions. When the print calls it out as a part number, such as M83461/2-906, follow that number to its own page for the document status and both units.
| Designator | Document | Compound | Status | Back-up ring |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M83461/2-906 | MIL-P-83461/2; superseded by SAE AMS-P-83461/2, then by SAE AS83461/2 | NBR | Canceled (MIL-P-83461/2); SAE AS83461/2 adopted by DoD (2010) | see drawing |
| AS3208-06 | SAE AS3208 (AMS7276) | FKM | AS3208A stabilized (2020) | see drawing |
| MS29512-06 | MIL-P-5315 (MS29512 boss drawing); now SAE AS29512 (AMS-P-5315) | NBR | Canceled (MIL-P-5315); AS29512C current (revised 2016, reaffirmed 2021) | see drawing |
| AS9385-06 | SAE AS9385 (AMS7267) | VMQ silicone | Canceled (SAE-AS9385) | see drawing |
Document statuses are read from DLA ASSIST and SAE Mobilus (read 2026-09-24 and 2026-09-25, with SAE's current-revision records read 2026-09-27). 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.
- On MIL-P-83461/2 (30 January 1991) the boss part number takes the three-digit AS568 dash: the sheet assigns its dash numbers on the AS568 dash system, so the part number for the AS568-903 size is M83461/2-903, the sheet's own example. DLA ASSIST records the sheet as inactive for new design from 1997-12-31 (Notice 1) and canceled on 2003-10-01 (Notice 2, which refers future acquisitions to SAE AMS-P-83461/2), DoD's adoption of SAE-AMS-P-83461/2 as withdrawn on 2010-01-20, and SAE-AS83461/2 as adopted the same day and Active (idents 71937, 213940 and 277054, read 2026-10-04).
- The MS29512 Revision C sheet (1965-09-01), the DoD drawing behind the MS29512 part numbers, lists -06 at the AS568-906 nominal size, and at this size its inside-diameter tolerance equals AS568's. DoD canceled the drawing on 2001-03-01, and SAE-AS29512 superseded it with the same part numbers (DLA ASSIST ident 41787, read 2026-09-27). Your drawing governs.
- The MS9385 Revision A sheet (1975-01-17), the DoD drawing behind the AS9385 part numbers, lists -06 at the AS568-906 nominal size, and at this size its inside-diameter tolerance equals AS568's. DoD canceled the drawing on 1999-12-29, and SAE-AS9385 superseded it with the same part numbers (DLA ASSIST ident 37860, read 2026-09-27). SAE cancelled AS9385 in October 2020 (AS9385A is the cancellation), and DoD withdrew its adoption on 2024-02-22; the withdrawal notice says SAE superseded AS9385 with SAE-AS9386 (DLA ASSIST ident 207707 and SAE Mobilus AS9385A, read 2026-09-27). One manufacturer's aerospace cross-reference (Freudenberg, July 2024, read 2026-09-27) says AS9386 now includes the former AS9385 boss parts as -9YY. Both numbers are quoted as printed. Your drawing governs.
