The TST114 is an AS568-114 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring supplied with an inside diameter of 0.612 in (15.54 mm), a cross section of 0.103 in (2.62 mm), and an outside diameter of 0.818 in (20.78 mm). This back-up ring installs on the low-pressure side of an o-ring to prevent extrusion into the clearance gap at elevated pressure.
This material stands up to steam, strong acids and bases, and solvents. That behavior comes from the compound itself: PTFE (Teflon) is widely chosen for near-universal chemical inertness and non-stick, non-contaminating surface characteristics. Service temperature is rated from -65°F (-53.9°C) through 500°F (260°C).
It sees regular use in aggressive-media pipelines, laboratory equipment, and semiconductor fabrication.
Stocked as TST114 and sold individually. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application. APG can cross-reference from an existing part number, a drawing or a physical sample if this size is not an exact match.
