AS568-924 O-Ring — 1.720 × 0.118 in
The -924 is a 900 series size: a 0.118 in cord on a 1.720 in inside diameter, which is 3 mm on 43.69 mm. Its outside diameter is 1.956 in (49.68 mm), derived as ID + 2 × cord.

|---|---|---|
| Inside diameter d₁ (ID) | 1.720 | 43.69 |
| Cross-section d₂ (cord) | 0.118 | 3 |
| Outside diameter (reference) | 1.956 | 49.68 |
| Inside diameter tolerance | ±0.014 | ±0.36 |
| 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.

The -924 is a lookup key. Its first digit — 9 — puts it in the 900 Series family, and the remaining two digits are its position inside that family counted upwards by inside diameter, which makes it number 18 of the 20 sizes here. Neither digit group carries a size: the -924 is 1.720 in on a 0.118 in cord, and a dash number one away from it can differ by a hundredth of an inch or by a quarter of one.
This is a 900-series boss gasket, not an O-ring for a groove: it seals the joint between a straight-thread tube fitting and the boss it screws into, and its dash number follows the tube the port is cut for rather than the seal’s own geometry. Its cord is 0.118 in, which is one of 9 cord sizes used across this series — the 900 series is not a cord family.
