This back-up ring is supplied in AS568-443 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D supplied with an inside diameter of 7.475 in (189.87 mm), a cross section of 0.275 in (6.99 mm), and an outside diameter of 8.025 in (203.84 mm), catalogued under part number TST443. It extends o-ring service life by supporting the seal against extrusion under high pressure.
PTFE (Teflon) is specified here for one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any solid and excellent dielectric properties. This material stands up to steam, strong acids and bases, and oxidizing media. Service temperature is rated from -65°F (-53.9°C) through 500°F (260°C). Verify compatibility before use with elemental fluorine at temperature or molten alkali metals.
Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across semiconductor fabrication, food and beverage, and aggressive-media pipelines.
Order part number TST443, sold individually. Check the compound against your process media, pressure and temperature before committing to a design.
