This back-up ring is supplied in AS568-202 black Viton® (FKM) 90 Shore A built to an inside diameter of 0.234 in (5.94 mm), a cross section of 0.139 in (3.53 mm), and an outside diameter of 0.512 in (13 mm), catalogued under part number VBU90202. It allows a standard o-ring to operate at higher pressures than it could unsupported.
The compound resists many acids, aggressive chemicals, and chlorinated solvents. Viton® (FKM) is widely chosen for very low compression set at elevated temperature and the industry benchmark where nitrile reaches its thermal limit. The material carries a published service range of -15°F (-26.1°C) to 400°F (204.4°C). Exposure to amines or low-molecular-weight organic acids will shorten service life.
Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across chemical processing, semiconductor equipment, and automotive fuel systems.
Order part number VBU90202, sold individually. Application requirements vary, so validate compatibility with your process conditions prior to installation.
