The TSP340 is an AS568-340 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring measuring an inside diameter of 3.35 in (85.09 mm), a cross section of 0.21 in (5.33 mm), and an outside diameter of 3.77 in (95.76 mm). This back-up ring installs on the low-pressure side of an o-ring to prevent extrusion into the clearance gap at elevated pressure.
PTFE (Teflon) is specified for one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any solid and excellent dielectric properties. This material stands up to oxidizing media, nearly all industrial chemicals, and strong acids and bases. Continuous operating temperature is published at -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C). Applications involving elemental fluorine at temperature or service requiring elastic recovery call for a different compound.
Common environments for this compound include semiconductor fabrication, pharmaceutical and biotech, and laboratory equipment.
Order part number TSP340, sold individually. Application requirements vary, so validate compatibility with your process conditions prior to installation.
