This back-up ring is supplied in AS568-425 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D built to an inside diameter of 4.475 in (113.67 mm), a cross section of 0.275 in (6.99 mm), and an outside diameter of 5.025 in (127.64 mm), catalogued under part number TSP425. It extends o-ring service life by supporting the seal against extrusion under high pressure.
Expect good resistance to solvents, strong acids and bases, and steam. PTFE (Teflon) offers one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any solid and non-stick, non-contaminating surface characteristics. Rated temperature range runs from -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C) in continuous service. It is not the right choice where service requiring elastic recovery or molten alkali metals are present.
Common environments for this compound include chemical processing, pharmaceutical and biotech, and food and beverage.
This item is sold individually under part number TSP425. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 4 1/2 inch. 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.
