This back-up ring is supplied in AS568-382 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D supplied with an inside diameter of 12.975 in (329.57 mm), a cross section of 0.21 in (5.33 mm), and an outside diameter of 13.395 in (340.23 mm), catalogued under part number TST382SO. It bridges the extrusion gap so the primary seal holds its shape under load.
PTFE (Teflon) is specified here for non-stick, non-contaminating surface characteristics and very wide continuous service temperature range. Expect good resistance to strong acids and bases, nearly all industrial chemicals, and steam. Rated temperature range runs from -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C) in continuous service. It should not be specified for service in elemental fluorine at temperature or service requiring elastic recovery.
You will find this material specified across semiconductor fabrication, food and beverage, and chemical processing.
Order part number TST382SO, sold individually. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 13 inch. Review your operating media and conditions against this specification before installation. APG supports cross-referencing from drawings, samples and competitor numbers when a listed size is not an exact fit.
