I don't know but if you assume an overall diameter of 750mm (30") and divide by 30 you get 25mm or 1" so I guess something around that size.

There is such a thing ..as a Standard Lifebuoy ....actual internal & external dimensions shown below

These items [as are many] are governed by the International Maritime Organization [IMO] of which all Western Countries [possibly most Eastern and Asian Countries in addition] are signature to ...............

It is a division or body within and governed by the United Nations.................Derek

I did estimate it based on waist size but then Googled it to get the 750mm starting point.  :-)
