APG stocks the VBU90214, an AS568-214 black Viton® (FKM) 90 Shore A Back-Up Ring measuring an inside diameter of 0.984 in (24.99 mm), a cross section of 0.139 in (3.53 mm), and an outside diameter of 1.262 in (32.05 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.
Viton® (FKM) is widely chosen for long service life in hot, chemically aggressive environments and very low compression set at elevated temperature. The material holds up against aromatic hydrocarbons, petroleum oils and fuels, and aggressive chemicals. Published continuous service range is -15°F (-26.1°C) to 400°F (204.4°C). Exposure to low-molecular-weight organic acids or ketones and esters will shorten service life.
Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across high-temperature process equipment, semiconductor equipment, and oil and gas.
Order part number VBU90214, sold individually. Unit weight is approximately 1.5062 g. Application requirements vary, so validate compatibility with your process conditions prior to installation.
