Default Aeroquip hose sizes

Does anyone have a chart, that tells you the I.D of each size dash hose?

Need to work out what sizes I need for everything!

So -4 is 5.588mm ID?

Going by that, -3 would be correct for vacum hoses, roughly 3mm?

Personally, I use silicone or pneumatic lines and fittings for vac hoses, and aeroquip when it needs to be over -4 size.

iirc the -2 -3 -4 refers to 16th's of an inch, so would be a bore of 2/16", 3/16" 4/16" etc
