Ordered as TST332, this is an AS568-332 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring with an inside diameter of 2.35 in (59.69 mm), a cross section of 0.21 in (5.33 mm), and an outside diameter of 2.77 in (70.36 mm). The back-up ring allows a standard o-ring to operate at higher pressures than it could unsupported.
The compound resists strong acids and bases, oxidizing media, and solvents. PTFE (Teflon) is specified for non-stick, non-contaminating surface characteristics and near-universal chemical inertness. The material carries a published service range of -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C). Exposure to molten alkali metals or elemental fluorine at temperature will shorten service life.
Common environments for this compound include semiconductor fabrication, chemical processing, and laboratory equipment.
Order part number TST332, sold individually. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 2 3/8 inch. Application requirements vary, so validate compatibility with your process conditions prior to installation. APG supports cross-referencing from drawings, samples and competitor numbers when a listed size is not an exact fit.
