Part number TST160 is an AS568-160 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring supplied with an inside diameter of 5.237 in (133.02 mm), a cross section of 0.103 in (2.62 mm), and an outside diameter of 5.443 in (138.25 mm). A back-up ring allows a standard o-ring to operate at higher pressures than it could unsupported.
This material stands up to strong acids and bases, oxidizing media, and nearly all industrial chemicals. PTFE (Teflon) offers near-universal chemical inertness and non-stick, non-contaminating surface characteristics. Rated temperature range runs from -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C) in continuous service. Verify compatibility before use with service requiring elastic recovery or elemental fluorine at temperature.
Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across pharmaceutical and biotech, laboratory equipment, and semiconductor fabrication.
Stocked as TST160 and sold individually. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 5 1/4 inch. Review your operating media and conditions against this specification before installation.
