Part number TST230 is an AS568-230 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring supplied with an inside diameter of 2.484 in (63.09 mm), a cross section of 0.139 in (3.53 mm), and an outside diameter of 2.762 in (70.15 mm). A back-up ring bridges the extrusion gap so the primary seal holds its shape under load.
PTFE (Teflon) is specified here for non-stick, non-contaminating surface characteristics and very wide continuous service temperature range. The compound resists steam, nearly all industrial chemicals, and oxidizing media. Rated temperature range runs from -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C) in continuous service. Verify compatibility before use with molten alkali metals or elemental fluorine at temperature.
It sees regular use in laboratory equipment, chemical processing, and food and beverage.
TST230 ships individually. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application. Not finding the exact configuration you need? APG cross-references from prints, samples and competitor part numbers.
