TSP022 is an AS568-022 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring measuring an inside diameter of 0.989 in (25.12 mm), a cross section of 0.07 in (1.78 mm), and an outside diameter of 1.129 in (28.68 mm). In service, this back-up ring bridges the extrusion gap so the primary seal holds its shape under load.
The material holds up against nearly all industrial chemicals, strong acids and bases, and oxidizing media. That behavior comes from the compound itself: PTFE (Teflon) is specified for excellent dielectric properties and non-stick, non-contaminating surface characteristics. Continuous operating temperature is published at -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C). It should not be specified for service in service requiring elastic recovery or molten alkali metals.
You will find this material specified across pharmaceutical and biotech, aggressive-media pipelines, and food and beverage.
Reference part number TSP022 when ordering; the item is sold individually. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 1 inch. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application. Not finding the exact configuration you need?
