Part number TSP006 is an AS568-006 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring supplied with an inside diameter of 0.114 in (2.9 mm), a cross section of 0.07 in (1.78 mm), and an outside diameter of 0.254 in (6.45 mm). A back-up ring installs on the low-pressure side of an o-ring to prevent extrusion into the clearance gap at elevated pressure.
Expect good resistance to solvents, steam, and oxidizing media. That behavior comes from the compound itself: PTFE (Teflon) is widely chosen for non-stick, non-contaminating surface characteristics and excellent dielectric properties. Rated temperature range runs from -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C) in continuous service. It is not the right choice where service requiring elastic recovery or molten alkali metals are present.
You will find this material specified across chemical processing, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical and biotech.
Stocked as TSP006 and sold individually. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 1/8 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.
