This back-up ring is supplied in AS568-017 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D built to an inside diameter of 0.676 in (17.17 mm), a cross section of 0.07 in (1.78 mm), and an outside diameter of 0.816 in (20.73 mm), catalogued under part number TSP017. It allows a standard o-ring to operate at higher pressures than it could unsupported.
As a material, PTFE (Teflon) is valued for non-stick, non-contaminating surface characteristics and excellent dielectric properties. It resists oxidizing media, strong acids and bases, and nearly all industrial chemicals. Rated temperature range runs from -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C) in continuous service. Verify compatibility before use with elemental fluorine at temperature or molten alkali metals.
You will find this material specified across semiconductor fabrication, food and beverage, and laboratory equipment.
Order part number TSP017, sold individually. 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.
