Ordered as TSP265, this is an AS568-265 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring measuring an inside diameter of 7.734 in (196.44 mm), a cross section of 0.139 in (3.53 mm), and an outside diameter of 8.012 in (203.5 mm). The back-up ring allows a standard o-ring to operate at higher pressures than it could unsupported.
As a material, PTFE (Teflon) is known for one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any solid and non-stick, non-contaminating surface characteristics. The material holds up against oxidizing media, steam, and strong acids and bases. The material carries a published service range of -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C). Applications involving molten alkali metals or elemental fluorine at temperature call for a different compound.
Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across chemical processing, semiconductor fabrication, and food and beverage.
Stocked as TSP265 and sold individually. Review your operating media and conditions against this specification before installation. For a size or compound outside the standard catalog, APG can quote from a print or sample.
