Dimensional Standards

Over the last several years, there has been a concerted effort worldwide to consolidate Basic Ring specifications into a single, worldwide standard. The result is the International Standards Organization (ISO), which has been the driving force in this consolidation effort. While Yaseki still recognizes and manufactures to existing standards, our dimensional, material, and quality mindset follow the guidelines set forth by ISO.

Specification Index
ISO 3601-1 International standard for metric and inch series O-rings. The second edition includes the requirements for Aerospace (AS) applications.
SAE AS568B American standard for O-rings. AS-568 is the Aerospace Standard (AS) as well as the SAE standard and is used for military and industrial manufacturing in North America.
BS 1806 British standard for inch series O-rings. This standard is derived from SAE AS-568B.
BS 4518 British standard for metric series O-rings. BS 4518 incorporates European practices used for sealing components against fluids under dynamic and static conditions.
