APG stocks the TST119SO, an AS568-119 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring built to an inside diameter of 0.924 in (23.47 mm), a cross section of 0.103 in (2.62 mm), and an outside diameter of 1.13 in (28.7 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.
This material stands up to steam, nearly all industrial chemicals, and oxidizing media. PTFE (Teflon) is known for a very wide continuous service temperature range 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. Verify compatibility before use with elemental fluorine at temperature or service requiring elastic recovery.
It sees regular use in laboratory equipment, pharmaceutical and biotech, and semiconductor fabrication.
TST119SO ships individually. Review your operating media and conditions against this specification before installation. For a size or compound outside the standard catalog, APG can quote from a print or sample.
