Part number TSP214 is an AS568-214 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring measuring an inside diameter of 0.984 in (24.99 mm), a cross section of 0.139 in (3.53 mm), and an outside diameter of 1.262 in (32.05 mm). A back-up ring allows a standard o-ring to operate at higher pressures than it could unsupported.
PTFE (Teflon) is specified here for very wide continuous service temperature range and excellent dielectric properties. The material holds up against steam, solvents, and oxidizing media. Rated temperature range runs from -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C) in continuous service. Exposure to molten alkali metals or elemental fluorine at temperature will shorten service life.
Common environments for this compound include semiconductor fabrication, pharmaceutical and biotech, and food and beverage.
TSP214 ships individually. Confirm chemical compatibility, pressure and temperature against your own application requirements before installing. 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.
