TSP144 is an AS568-144 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring with an inside diameter of 2.487 in (63.17 mm), a cross section of 0.103 in (2.62 mm), and an outside diameter of 2.693 in (68.4 mm). In service, this back-up ring allows a standard o-ring to operate at higher pressures than it could unsupported.
PTFE (Teflon) delivers excellent dielectric properties and near-universal chemical inertness. The compound resists solvents, oxidizing media, and nearly all industrial chemicals. Service temperature is rated from -65°F (-53.9°C) through 500°F (260°C). Verify compatibility before use with molten alkali metals or service requiring elastic recovery.
You will find this material specified across semiconductor fabrication, chemical processing, and food and beverage.
Order part number TSP144, sold individually. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 2 1/2 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.
