TSP452 is an AS568-452 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring with an inside diameter of 11.475 in (291.47 mm), a cross section of 0.275 in (6.99 mm), and an outside diameter of 12.025 in (305.44 mm). In service, this back-up ring allows a standard o-ring to operate at higher pressures than it could unsupported.
PTFE (Teflon) is specified here for one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any solid and near-universal chemical inertness. The material holds up against oxidizing media, steam, and nearly all industrial chemicals. Service temperature is rated from -65°F (-53.9°C) through 500°F (260°C). It should not be specified for service in molten alkali metals or service requiring elastic recovery.
You will find this material specified across aggressive-media pipelines, laboratory equipment, and chemical processing.
This item is sold individually under part number TSP452. Application requirements vary, so validate compatibility with your process conditions prior to installation. Not finding the exact configuration you need? APG cross-references from prints, samples and competitor part numbers.
