APG stocks the VBU90370, an AS568-370 black Viton® (FKM) 90 Shore A Back-Up Ring built to 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). A back-up ring allows a standard o-ring to operate at higher pressures than it could unsupported.
Viton® (FKM) is specified here for long service life in hot, chemically aggressive environments and outstanding high-temperature capability. The material holds up against petroleum oils and fuels, aggressive chemicals, and many acids. Published continuous service range is -15°F (-26.1°C) to 400°F (204.4°C). Verify compatibility before use with low-molecular-weight organic acids or amines.
Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across oil and gas, semiconductor equipment, and chemical processing.
