The TSP210 is an AS568-210 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring measuring an inside diameter of 0.734 in (18.64 mm), a cross section of 0.139 in (3.53 mm), and an outside diameter of 1.012 in (25.7 mm). This back-up ring bridges the extrusion gap so the primary seal holds its shape under load.
PTFE (Teflon) is specified here for near-universal chemical inertness and non-stick, non-contaminating surface characteristics. The compound resists oxidizing media, strong acids and bases, and solvents. Continuous operating temperature is published at -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C). Verify compatibility before use with elemental fluorine at temperature or molten alkali metals.
You will find this material specified across aggressive-media pipelines, chemical processing, and pharmaceutical and biotech.
This item is sold individually under part number TSP210. Application requirements vary, so validate compatibility with your process conditions prior to installation. If you need a size, durometer or compound that is not listed, APG can cross-reference from a print, a sample or a competitor part number.
