Part number TST447 is an AS568-447 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring with an inside diameter of 8.975 in (227.97 mm), a cross section of 0.275 in (6.99 mm), and an outside diameter of 9.525 in (241.94 mm). A back-up ring allows a standard o-ring to operate at higher pressures than it could unsupported.
The material holds up against strong acids and bases, steam, and oxidizing media. That behavior comes from the compound itself: PTFE (Teflon) is specified for near-universal chemical inertness and one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any solid. Published continuous service range is -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C). Verify compatibility before use with service requiring elastic recovery or molten alkali metals.
Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across chemical processing, food and beverage, and semiconductor fabrication.
Reference part number TST447 when ordering; the item is sold individually. Confirm chemical compatibility, pressure and temperature against your own application requirements before installing.
