Ordered as TSP127, this is an AS568-127 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring measuring an inside diameter of 1.424 in (36.17 mm), a cross section of 0.103 in (2.62 mm), and an outside diameter of 1.63 in (41.4 mm). The back-up ring bridges the extrusion gap so the primary seal holds its shape under load.
PTFE (Teflon) offers excellent dielectric properties and near-universal chemical inertness. Expect good resistance to nearly all industrial chemicals, strong acids and bases, and steam. 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.
Typical settings include laboratory equipment, chemical processing, and food and beverage.
TSP127 ships individually. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 1 7/16 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.
