VBU90144 is an AS568-144 black Viton® (FKM) 90 Shore A Back-Up Ring supplied with an inside diameter of 2.487 in (63.17 mm), a cross section of 0.103 in (2.62 mm), and an outside diameter of 2.693 in (68.4 mm). In service, this back-up ring extends o-ring service life by supporting the seal against extrusion under high pressure.
It resists engine and transmission fluids, chlorinated solvents, and aggressive chemicals. That behavior comes from the compound itself: Viton® (FKM) is specified for outstanding high-temperature capability and very low compression set at elevated temperature. The material carries a published service range of -15°F (-26.1°C) to 400°F (204.4°C). Exposure to low-molecular-weight organic acids or ketones and esters will shorten service life.
Typical settings include high-temperature process equipment, aerospace, and semiconductor equipment.
Reference part number VBU90144 when ordering; the item is sold individually. Unit weight is approximately 0.963 g. 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.
