AS568-222 O-Ring — 1.484 × 0.139 in
The -222 is a 200 series size: a 0.139 in cord on a 1.484 in inside diameter, which is 3.53 mm on 37.69 mm. Its outside diameter is 1.762 in (44.75 mm), derived as ID + 2 × cord.

| Dimension | Inches (AS568) | Millimetres (converted) |
|---|---|---|
| Inside diameter d₁ (ID) | 1.484 | 37.69 |
| Cross-section d₂ (cord) | 0.139 | 3.53 |
| Outside diameter (reference) | 1.762 | 44.75 |
| Inside diameter tolerance | ±0.015 | ±0.38 |
| Cross-section tolerance | ±0.004 | ±0.1 |
Inches are the standard’s own units; millimetre values are conversions — inch × 25.4, rounded to two decimals — and not the ISO 3601-1 metric sizes. Outside diameter is a reference value derived as ID + 2 × cross-section; the two diameters the standard fixes are the inside diameter and the cord.
Reading the designationnothing in AS568-222 is a dimension
The -222 is a lookup key. Its first digit — 2 — puts it in the 200 Series family, and the remaining two digits are its position inside that family counted upwards by inside diameter, which makes it number 22 of the 84 sizes here. Neither digit group carries a size: the -222 is 1.484 in on a 0.139 in cord, and a dash number one away from it can differ by a hundredth of an inch or by a quarter of one.
