TST370SO is an AS568-370 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring supplied with an inside diameter of 8.225 in (208.92 mm), a cross section of 0.21 in (5.33 mm), and an outside diameter of 8.645 in (219.58 mm). In service, this back-up ring installs on the low-pressure side of an o-ring to prevent extrusion into the clearance gap at elevated pressure.
Expect good resistance to steam, nearly all industrial chemicals, and solvents. PTFE (Teflon) offers near-universal chemical inertness and a very wide continuous service temperature range. The material carries a published service range of -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C). Verify compatibility before use with service requiring elastic recovery or elemental fluorine at temperature.
Typical settings include semiconductor fabrication, pharmaceutical and biotech, and laboratory equipment.
TST370SO ships individually. Application requirements vary, so validate compatibility with your process conditions prior to installation. APG supports cross-referencing from drawings, samples and competitor numbers when a listed size is not an exact fit.
