The TST247 is an AS568-247 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring supplied with an inside diameter of 4.609 in (117.07 mm), a cross section of 0.139 in (3.53 mm), and an outside diameter of 4.887 in (124.13 mm). This back-up ring bridges the extrusion gap so the primary seal holds its shape under load.
As a material, PTFE (Teflon) is valued for a very wide continuous service temperature range and excellent dielectric properties. The compound resists solvents, nearly all industrial chemicals, and steam. Continuous operating temperature is published at -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C). It is not the right choice where elemental fluorine at temperature or molten alkali metals are present.
You will find this material specified across semiconductor fabrication, laboratory equipment, and food and beverage.
Reference part number TST247 when ordering; the item is sold individually. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 4 5/8 inch. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application.
