Ordered as TST313SO, this is an AS568-313 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring built to an inside diameter of 0.662 in (16.81 mm), a cross section of 0.21 in (5.33 mm), and an outside diameter of 1.082 in (27.48 mm). The back-up ring bridges the extrusion gap so the primary seal holds its shape under load.
PTFE (Teflon) is specified here for one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any solid and excellent dielectric properties. The compound resists nearly all industrial chemicals, strong acids and bases, and oxidizing media. Rated temperature range runs from -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C) in continuous service. Verify compatibility before use with molten alkali metals or elemental fluorine at temperature.
Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across laboratory equipment, food and beverage, and chemical processing.
Reference part number TST313SO when ordering; the item is sold individually. Application requirements vary, so validate compatibility with your process conditions prior to installation.
