The TST033 is an AS568-033 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring measuring an inside diameter of 1.989 in (50.52 mm), a cross section of 0.07 in (1.78 mm), and an outside diameter of 2.129 in (54.08 mm). This back-up ring bridges the extrusion gap so the primary seal holds its shape under load.
PTFE (Teflon) is widely chosen for non-stick, non-contaminating surface characteristics and near-universal chemical inertness. Expect good resistance to strong acids and bases, nearly all industrial chemicals, and solvents. The material carries a published service range of -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C). Verify compatibility before use with molten alkali metals or elemental fluorine at temperature.
Typical settings include laboratory equipment, food and beverage, and semiconductor fabrication.
This item is sold individually under part number TST033. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 2 inch. Check the compound against your process media, pressure and temperature before committing to a design. APG can cross-reference from an existing part number, a drawing or a physical sample if this size is not an exact match.
