This back-up ring is supplied in AS568-143 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D with an inside diameter of 2.425 in (61.6 mm), a cross section of 0.103 in (2.62 mm), and an outside diameter of 2.631 in (66.83 mm), catalogued under part number TSP143. It extends o-ring service life by supporting the seal against extrusion under high pressure.
As a material, PTFE (Teflon) is widely chosen for near-universal chemical inertness and a very wide continuous service temperature range. Expect good resistance to nearly all industrial chemicals, steam, and solvents. Published continuous service range is -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C).
You will find this material specified across laboratory equipment, pharmaceutical and biotech, and semiconductor fabrication.
Reference part number TSP143 when ordering; the item is sold individually. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application. For a size or compound outside the standard catalog, APG can quote from a print or sample.
