Part number TST116 is an AS568-116 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring built to an inside diameter of 0.737 in (18.72 mm), a cross section of 0.103 in (2.62 mm), and an outside diameter of 0.943 in (23.95 mm). A back-up ring installs on the low-pressure side of an o-ring to prevent extrusion into the clearance gap at elevated pressure.
The material holds up against solvents, strong acids and bases, and oxidizing media. PTFE (Teflon) is known for non-stick, non-contaminating surface characteristics and excellent dielectric properties. Rated temperature range runs from -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C) in continuous service. Applications involving molten alkali metals or service requiring elastic recovery call for a different compound.
You will find this material specified across semiconductor fabrication, food and beverage, and laboratory equipment.
Order part number TST116, sold individually. Review your operating media and conditions against this specification before installation. APG supports cross-referencing from drawings, samples and competitor numbers when a listed size is not an exact fit.
