Mil-spec part number, MS29513 and MS29512 family
MS29512-12 O-ring: nitrile (NBR), AS568-912 nominal size
MS29512-12 has the AS568-912 nominal size, 0.924 in (23.47 mm) inside diameter by 0.116 in (2.95 mm) cross-section, in nitrile (NBR) procured to MIL-P-5315 (MS29512 boss drawing). The DLA ASSIST and SAE Mobilus records read: Canceled (MIL-P-5315); AS29512C current (revised 2016, reaffirmed 2021). The -12 names the tube OD in sixteenths of an inch, a 3/4 in tube, and matches AS568-912. Its DoD sheet, MS29512, holds the inside-diameter tolerance tighter than AS568 above 0.500 in ID, and the document sets the compound, so an AS568-912 ring is not the same part as MS29512-12. Send the designator exactly as the print reads and we quote it against that document.

Millimeter values are converted from the inch table. The MS29512 sheet holds the inside-diameter tolerance tighter than AS568 above 0.500 in ID; the drawing governs.
Same nominal size, other documents
Other part numbers for the AS568-912 size
These part numbers name the AS568-912 nominal size under a different document, so each one is a different compound. They are not interchangeable with MS29512-12 unless the print or the buyer's engineering allows it. At this size the family sheet for AS9385-12 holds a tighter inside-diameter tolerance than AS568.

The base polymer
MS29512-12 is nitrile (NBR). The Parker® O-Ring Handbook ORD 5700 range published for the NBR family (section 2.2) is -34 C to 100 C. That is the polymer family's range, not this document's requirement; the compound sheet for the qualified grade governs.

Frequently asked
What is the AS568 nominal size of MS29512-12?
MS29512-12 has the AS568-912 nominal size: 0.924 in (23.47 mm) inside diameter by 0.116 in (2.95 mm) cross-section, for a 3/4 in tube. The MS29512 sheet holds the inside-diameter tolerance tighter than AS568 above 0.500 in ID, and MIL-P-5315 (MS29512 boss drawing) sets the nitrile (NBR) compound. An AS568-912 ring shares the nominal size but not the tolerance, so it is not the same part as MS29512-12.
What is the NSN for MS29512-12?
DLA's public FLIS data lists MS29512-12 on NSN 5331-00-263-8033 (read 2026-10-08). An NSN is the federal catalog's number for the item; your contract or print decides what is ordered.
Is MIL-P-5315 still active?
The DLA ASSIST and SAE Mobilus records read: Canceled (MIL-P-5315); AS29512C current (revised 2016, reaffirmed 2021). The first status is the material document's: DLA ASSIST records MIL-P-5315 as canceled on 2002-02-28 and superseded by SAE AMS-P-5315, the material specification, now at revision AMSP5315C (revised 2022-08-05). The second is SAE-AS29512's, the SAE part standard that superseded the MS29512 drawing when DoD canceled the drawing on 2001-03-01; the cancellation notice keeps the part numbers unchanged. Both come from the DLA ASSIST and SAE Mobilus records listed under Sources, with the date each was read. A canceled or inactive MIL document can still be the one a print calls out, and your print decides which you order to.
How do I order MS29512-12?
Send the designator exactly as the print reads, with its revision, any suffix letter, the quantity and the paperwork the order needs. MS29512-12 is quoted and supplied against MIL-P-5315 (MS29512 boss drawing) or SAE AS29512 (material specification: SAE AMS-P-5315), in the compound the print calls out, with a certificate of conformance with every order. When the print calls out a QPL-listed specification, the finished molded O-ring, or the material it is molded from, comes from a manufacturer listed on that QPL; Conquest supplies it and is not itself on any QPL. A Conquest representative replies within one business day.
