Part number TST380 is an AS568-380 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring built to an inside diameter of 11.475 in (291.47 mm), a cross section of 0.21 in (5.33 mm), and an outside diameter of 11.895 in (302.13 mm). A back-up ring installs on the low-pressure side of an o-ring to prevent extrusion into the clearance gap at elevated pressure.
As a material, PTFE (Teflon) is known for non-stick, non-contaminating surface characteristics and one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any solid. The compound resists oxidizing media, nearly all industrial chemicals, and solvents. Continuous operating temperature is published at -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C). Verify compatibility before use with elemental fluorine at temperature or molten alkali metals.
You will find this material specified across semiconductor fabrication, pharmaceutical and biotech, and chemical processing.
Stocked as TST380 and sold individually. Confirm chemical compatibility, pressure and temperature against your own application requirements before installing. Not finding the exact configuration you need? APG cross-references from prints, samples and competitor part numbers.
