AS568-315 O-Ring — 0.787 × 0.210 in
The -315 is a 300 series size: a 0.210 in cord on a 0.787 in inside diameter, which is 5.33 mm on 19.99 mm. Its outside diameter is 1.207 in (30.66 mm), derived as ID + 2 × cord.

| Dimension | Inches (AS568) | Millimetres (converted) |
|---|---|---|
| Inside diameter d₁ (ID) | 0.787 | 19.99 |
| Cross-section d₂ (cord) | 0.210 | 5.33 |
| Outside diameter (reference) | 1.207 | 30.66 |
| Inside diameter tolerance | ±0.010 | ±0.25 |
| Cross-section tolerance | ±0.005 | ±0.13 |
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.

The -315 is a lookup key. Its first digit — 3 — puts it in the 300 Series family, and the remaining two digits are its position inside that family counted upwards by inside diameter, which makes it number 7 of the 87 sizes here. Neither digit group carries a size: the -315 is 0.787 in on a 0.210 in cord, and a dash number one away from it can differ by a hundredth of an inch or by a quarter of one.
