Part number TSP434 is an AS568-434 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring supplied with an inside diameter of 5.6 in (142.24 mm), a cross section of 0.275 in (6.99 mm), and an outside diameter of 6.15 in (156.21 mm). A back-up ring extends o-ring service life by supporting the seal against extrusion under high pressure.
PTFE (Teflon) is specified here for non-stick, non-contaminating surface characteristics and very wide continuous service temperature range. It resists strong acids and bases, steam, and nearly all industrial chemicals. 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 molten alkali metals or service requiring elastic recovery.
Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across laboratory equipment, pharmaceutical and biotech, and chemical processing.
TSP434 ships individually. Confirm chemical compatibility, pressure and temperature against your own application requirements before installing. 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.
