APG stocks the TSP114, an AS568-114 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring with an inside diameter of 0.612 in (15.54 mm), a cross section of 0.103 in (2.62 mm), and an outside diameter of 0.818 in (20.78 mm). A back-up ring extends o-ring service life by supporting the seal against extrusion under high pressure.
As a material, PTFE (Teflon) delivers one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any solid and a very wide continuous service temperature range. It resists solvents, nearly all industrial chemicals, and strong acids and bases. The material carries a published service range of -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C). It should not be specified for service in service requiring elastic recovery or elemental fluorine at temperature.
You will find this material specified across laboratory equipment, semiconductor fabrication, and pharmaceutical and biotech.
Stocked as TSP114 and sold individually. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 5/8 inch. Check the compound against your process media, pressure and temperature before committing to a design. If you need a size, durometer or compound that is not listed, APG can cross-reference from a print, a sample or a competitor part number.
