TSP262 is an AS568-262 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring with an inside diameter of 6.984 in (177.39 mm), a cross section of 0.139 in (3.53 mm), and an outside diameter of 7.262 in (184.45 mm). In service, this back-up ring installs on the low-pressure side of an o-ring to prevent extrusion into the clearance gap at elevated pressure.
This material stands up to strong acids and bases, oxidizing media, and nearly all industrial chemicals. That behavior comes from the compound itself: PTFE (Teflon) delivers non-stick, non-contaminating surface characteristics and one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any solid. Continuous operating temperature is published at -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C). It should not be specified for service in elemental fluorine at temperature or service requiring elastic recovery.
Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across chemical processing, semiconductor fabrication, and pharmaceutical and biotech.
Stocked as TSP262 and sold individually. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 7 inch. Review your operating media and conditions against this specification before installation.
