This o-ring is supplied in AS568-160 red PTFE-Encapsulated Silicone 70 Shore A measuring an inside diameter of 5.237 in (133.02 mm), a cross section of 0.103 in (2.62 mm), and an outside diameter of 5.443 in (138.25 mm), catalogued under part number TES70160. It compresses into its gland to block fluid or gas migration across a joint. This item is further identified as ORING 70 Durometer.

As a material, PTFE-Encapsulated Silicone is valued for chemical inertness of PTFE with the wide temperature range of silicone and strong resistance to permeation. The compound resists steam, nearly all process chemicals, and strong acids and solvents. Continuous operating temperature is published at -75°F (-59.4°C) to 400°F (204.4°C). It should not be specified for service in tight-radius dynamic flexing or installation over sharp edges.

It sees regular use in cryogenic and high-temperature equipment, food and beverage processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

TES70160 ships individually. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 5 1/4 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.
