APG stocks the VBU90283, an AS568-283 black Viton® (FKM) 90 Shore A Back-Up Ring built to an inside diameter of 16.955 in (430.66 mm), a cross section of 0.139 in (3.53 mm), and an outside diameter of 17.233 in (437.72 mm). A back-up ring bridges the extrusion gap so the primary seal holds its shape under load.

Typical settings include aerospace, high-temperature process equipment, and chemical processing.
