The TST276 is an AS568-276 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring supplied with an inside diameter of 10.984 in (278.99 mm), a cross section of 0.139 in (3.53 mm), and an outside diameter of 11.262 in (286.05 mm). This back-up ring allows a standard o-ring to operate at higher pressures than it could unsupported.
PTFE (Teflon) is known for one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any solid and a very wide continuous service temperature range. Expect good resistance to nearly all industrial chemicals, steam, and strong acids and bases. Service temperature is rated from -65°F (-53.9°C) through 500°F (260°C). Verify compatibility before use with service requiring elastic recovery or elemental fluorine at temperature.
Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across semiconductor fabrication, laboratory equipment, and chemical processing.
Reference part number TST276 when ordering; the item is sold individually. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application.
