Part number TSP124 is an AS568-124 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring built to an inside diameter of 1.237 in (31.42 mm), a cross section of 0.103 in (2.62 mm), and an outside diameter of 1.443 in (36.65 mm). A back-up ring bridges the extrusion gap so the primary seal holds its shape under load.
PTFE (Teflon) is widely chosen for non-stick, non-contaminating surface characteristics and one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any solid. This material stands up to steam, nearly all industrial chemicals, and solvents. Published continuous service range is -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C). It should not be specified for service in molten alkali metals or elemental fluorine at temperature.
Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across laboratory equipment, pharmaceutical and biotech, and aggressive-media pipelines.
This item is sold individually under part number TSP124. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 1 1/4 inch. Confirm chemical compatibility, pressure and temperature against your own application requirements before installing. For a size or compound outside the standard catalog, APG can quote from a print or sample.
